"Just an old Ice Cream Dipper"

This may be just an old ice cream scoop, but it’s an old scoop from the company store of Morris and Company, Groveville, New Jersey. This is one of the scoops my great grandmother, Naomi Rollings, used when she operated the company store.

There were two, one has been lost. My mother tells me this was a three cent scoop; I guess this size scoop of ice cream would be $7.50 at Cold Stone Creamery Ice Cream, today.

This dipper is about one hundred years old and in my kitchen drawer today, along with some modern stainless dippers of various sizes and still used today, carefully.
