Alfred L. Cralle patented the ice cream scoop February 2, 1897!

Question

Lest this momentous occasion goes uncommemorated, I thought I'd point out that Alfred L. Cralle patented the ice cream scoop on this day (February 2) in 1897. His profile is real pretty, too.

Answer 1

Thank God for Alfred Cralle! (says all ice cream lovers everywhere) Thank you for highlighting his awesome profile! Now we just need to get him connected to the global Tree.

Answer 2

Thank you, Dave!

There was a very nice story Alfred Cralle along with a photo of him and one or two of the 'scoops' he patented on the news yesterday! We so take these for granted today and it is nice to see who created these patents and why.

Answer 3

Thank you Alfred Cralle.

I did not know that before. I just read his story for the first time. A fantastic man.
I LOVE Icecream!!!

Thanks Dave for sharing this.
