Hello again, Sorry - was looking at agphile's scoop - that is the lithotomy scoop. Will try to bring up the first picture, which is currently appearing broken.
cordially, Fiona

Hello, We have one of these in our collection. It is a lithotomy scoop - used in the medical/surgical profession for removal of stones such as kidney, bladder or gallstones that cannot exit the body on their own.

Seven inches is not the largest length you will see with a cheese scoop, I had owned them in smaller lengths (which are older examples often) and much larger lengths i...

Hi,
The mark is an E over a maple leaf, for Ellis Bros. of Toronto (bought out by Birks in 1921-2. Birks was known as Birks-Ellis in Toronto until WW2.
