The handle on these ice picks have a larger diameter near the top, at lease one "waist", and a diameter greater than at the "waist" at or near the ferrule. As will be noticed from the photos, some handles have large changes in diameters while others are very subtle. |

This shows different manufacturing techniques for installing and retaining the spring mechanism. Looking at the picture on the left - the pick on the left (darker red) has a hole in the end of the handle where the spring was installed and then plugged. Now, looking at the right picture, one can see a metal sleeve has been inserted in the other end of the handle of the lighter colored pick to house and retain the spring. NOTES: 1) The small hole in the center of the end of the handle of the lighter red pick has thread marks and probably was from an eye hook for hanging. 2) All the other picks of this
style have the spring installed through the end of the handle like the dark
red pick discuss here. |

This Item is not part of my collection. The pictures and information were provided
by Bob Roger. Patent 829,154
Issued August 21, 1906
The patent is for a
fastening mechanism for awls and similar tools so the blade can be changed if
damaged. The shaft is marked "SURE HOLT". The patent calls for a transverse pin
through the handle and tail of the mechanism in order to resist all
twisting. Since this pick does not
have the transverse hole/pin, it was made for an application that does not
require twisting. Awls are twisted, so it's assumed this is an ice pick. G.L.Holt Co.,

The blade/ pick is replaceable
