This ice cream scoop was collected from the Plowboy site in Shawnee County and donated to the Kansas Historical Society in 2017. The Plowboy site was home to the Kansa, the Potawatomi, and Euro-Americans. At various times, the site contained a farm, a trading post, and a post office with nearby military trails, Mormon routes, a railroad and the California-Oregon trail. Clad's Disher featured an open heart shaped key at the bowl apex that rotated the two scraper blades and removed the ice cream.
