I would like to dedicate this site to my collecting mentor Gus Brunner. Gus was an active collector who inspired me to get more involved with collecting and to join the Ice Screamers group. Gus was always there with friendship, knowledge, and advice.

I would also like to acknowledge Wayne Smith, who created the ice cream scoop collectors' guidebook Ice Cream Dippers. Wayne’s book is nearly 40 years old and is still the go-to reference for all scoop collectors. Many facts presented on this website were taken from his work.

The Ice Screamers are a group of ice cream enthusiasts who collects ice cream parlor and soda fountain memorabilia. The annual convention is great fun and an opportunity to see, buy and sell your items. https://www.icescreamers.com/
