Dan, did yours look like an ice scraper (straight edge, perpendicular to the
handle)or more like an arrow head (convex double edge) ? The ones I've seen
in catalogs from the 20s had two edges that came to a point. I've been
looking for one of these for a while (don't ask why, maybe becuase I live in
the past) FDanB@aol.com wrote:
