Fantastic vintage 1950s Ucago barbecue tool set featuring whimsical hand-painted chef handles and original wall mount hardware. Imported from Japan during the mid-century Occupied Japan export era, this charming grill set blends playful novelty design with solid vintage craftsmanship.
Each utensil features a carved wooden handle painted as a smiling chef with red or white cap detailing, paired with long stainless steel grilling tools. Several pieces retain their original Ucago import foil labels, confirming mid-century U.S. import origin. Metal shafts are stamped “Japan,” consistent with 1950s export grillware.
A rare and highly displayable set perfect for:
• Mid-century patio or tiki bar styling
• Vintage BBQ collectors
• Atomic ranch kitchens
• Film and prop styling
• Retro outdoor entertaining
Looks incredible hung on a wall in a vintage kitchen, bar, or patio space.
