Zeroll 20 Orange

Perrysburg, Ohio; February 9, 2025
A collection of six antique ZEROLL ice cream scoops, arranged in two rows of three with the handles in the foreground and scoops in the background. Text on each handle end includes "ZEROLL," "TOLEDO, OHIO" and patent numbers or "PATS. PEND.". A number, either 12, 16, 20, 24, or 30, is prominently displayed on each handle end. Two handle ends include the number 24, while each of the other numbers is represented only once. The surface of each handle end shows signs of age and wear, with scratches and faded areas. The scoops of the handles are in the background and are out of focus, making the handle ends and their patent markings the main subject of the photograph.

Zeroll Collection

Perrysburg, Ohio; February 9, 2025
An orange with a metal patent marking plate from a vintage machine attached to it. The label reads "Sunskist" in bold blue letters, indicating the patent marking plate is for a Sunkist brand fruit juice extractor. The marking plate references the extractor being made in the U.S.A., patented in 1917, and that it operated on 110 volts and 50 cycles. The marking plate also references the California Fruit Growers Exchange and provides an address in Chicago, Illinois. The orange is set against a dark background, highlighting its vibrant color. Overall, the scene provides an interesting contrast with the patent marking plate from the extractor maching being directly attached to a fruit, the orange, on which the machine, not visible in the photograph, would have operated.
