Abbott Ice and Packing Plant Ice Pick

Abbott Ice and Packing Plant Ice Pick
Ice Pick from the Abbott Ice and Packing Plant, Carnegie, PA, seen from all four sides, 7" long with a 4" handle. It has been shortened considerably from repeated sharpening. Since Rose gave it to Harold and Janice shortly after they were married, maybe in 1953, it has been used continuously for everything BUT ice. The metal furl is missing at the base of the handle. Donley Collection. See the Abbott Ice and Packing Plant Story.
