Building is 1920s and contains many California-Spanish influences like colorful painted tiles and red terracotta tiles. It is very unusual to see a boot scraper in San Francisco.

We had to dig deep into storage to find the ice scraper. That is our car, parked in Casa Grande, Arizona. We had a cold, damp, night of it.

Now, they had a huge amount of snow in Northern Arizona, at the high elevations. We are supposed to be in the valley, south of Phoenix.

Brrrr....

A last minute gift. Nice toasty ice scraper mitten. Photographed in my front hall- note all the snow!

With its unusually high angle (about 90°), this scraper will not give you a smooth surface!

But it has its usage, namely for accurately scraping the surface of a piece of wood.

Among other things, it is very useful for the set up of a Japanese wood plane (Kanna) for removing a tiny amount of wood between the contact points (front and back of the plane as well as directly in front of the blade).
