Fire Poker Spiral Handle ~ 100 years old ~ New/Old Stock ~ Arcade Mfg Co ~ Made in USAMade in the early 1900’s by the Arcade Manufacturing Company in Freeport Illinois.
Found in the attic of an old hardware store that closed many years back. They were never sold so they are new/old stock. Made in the U.S.A. from steel produced in steel mills in the U.S.A.
This poker is perfect as an accessory for your fire pit, fireplace, wood stove, pellet stove, barbecue grill, charcoal grill, smoker, chiminea, camp fire, coal fire or bon fire.
Perfect length, it measures about 20”. The spiral, spring steel wrapped handle prevents heat transfer to your hand. Also has a loop on the end to hang.
Painted black except the spiral handle. Again, found in storage and being approximately 100 years old, there could be minor paint chips, but then you are going to put it in your fire.
The Arcade Manufacturing Company dates to 1885 and was famous for their cast iron toys highly valued by toy collectors. They also produced various other household goods including coffee mills, hinges, springs, fire pokers, toy banks, toy farm tractors and toy cars.
You are going to enjoy using this piece of American history. Will make a great gift!
