A little research led me to learn that this is quite a seldom seen and highly prized ice pick, dating to 1930 or so. I grabbed it because I love an ice pick as a thing in general (personally I'd say goodbye to ice cube trays altogether in favor of old school ice blocks), and because of the excellent weight and size of this one, and, most of all, because of the raised ARCADE on it's cast iron, hexagon shaped handle (just the right shape to really get a good grip on) as there is nothing I love more than good, evocative found language. As far as ice picks go, I understand why this is a coveted one, and it's also just a really good object--and a very sharp one!
7 1/2” l x 1 1/2” diameter across handle. Very very good condition, just light surface rust to the handle.
