History of the Vintage Ice Cream Scoop

Because of Alfred L. Cralle, nobody has to use a regular spoon to struggle to make scoops of ice cream. In 1897, Cralle invented the ice cream scooper (U.S. Patent #576395), although he never profited from it. He was a businessman who worked for his father in the carpentry trade.

While working in a hotel Drugstore with a soda fountain in Pittsburgh, he noticed that ice cream servers were having a hard time inserting chunks of ice cream into a cone.

Cralle’s invention was originally called the Ice Cream Mold and Disher and was designed to keep ice cream and other foods from sticking.
