This scoop is made from a solid hardwood, likely elm or other similar wood.  Historically, these were used for measuring or moving grain.  It is most likely Chinese in origin.  It is in excellent condition with the signs of age and use which is expected in an old piece like this.  It measures 11 1/4 inches tall, 10 1/2 inches wide and 3 1/2 inches deep not including the handle.  The worn old red paint makes it even more appealing.
