It looks exactly like a 1989 Chouinard Ice screw but there is a feint diamond in a square mark, which shows this is a 1990 Black Diamond product. The 1988 Chouinard ice screw version has "U.S.A."

Chouinard Ice Screw Ratchet
- c.1983
- The ratchet first came out in 1983, but was redesigned adding a thicker holding collar, and adding more teeth to the ratchet. The 1984 catalog lists the new ratchet being made of two colors, green and black, but I have seen a few versions all being black. Photos showing the comparison between the 1983 and 1984 Chouinard ice screw ratchet versions.

There is no mention in the catalogs of the red/silver version of the Chouinard ratchet. So I figure it was the last ratchet that was created in late 1986, before discontinuing the ratchet beginning of 1987.
