Vintage Chrome Sugar Cube (or Ice Cube) Grabber with Bakelite Bulb kid painting including for the fact thatAnother excellent, beautiful (and very fun to use) tool for the bar or for tea time. I believe this is technically a sugar cube grabber (and aren't sugar cubes a joyful thing?) but it could also be used for grabbing cocktail sized ice cubes. The bulb at the end of the handle is bakelite, the metal is chrome, and to use one just pulls up on the disc on the stem and the grabber opens. I believe it dates to 1940s and is still quite shiny and super smart
