 While these are more a business rather than a kitchen item, bill spikes still have a place in today's kitchen. These are brand new, old stock bill spikes that were manufactured in Mt Joy, PA and date to somewhere around the 30's or 40's. They have a green cast iron base with a steel spike that screws in and measure 5 1/2" tall with a 2 3/8" diameter base. I have about 9 of these left, but you are only buying one at the price shown.
