Wood Handle Strainer, Kitchen Utensil Cooking Baking Collectible This is an antique or vintage wood handled stainer. While there is no manufacturer name or direct indication of age, we are guessing this piece dates to the 1920s-1940s period. The wood handle has a black end with a hole through it for ease in hanging, then a white stripe followed by a natural light wood colored varnished area, although much of this varnish/coloring has peeled away (and is still peeling up) showing the raw wood underneath. The handle is capped by a metal cap prior to the metal strainer portion which has an open metal diamond shape below the strainer and two elongated diamond shaped "ears" above the strainer (also possibly for ease in hanging from that end).

Full piece measures about 8 1/2 inches long x 2 3/4 inches wide (width of strainer opening), and sits about 2 1/8 inches in height when laying on a table, to the upper end of the cone-shaped strainer.

In old, vintage, used condition, but with a great overall look. The handle, in addition to peeling noted above, has other evidence of wear including a small round elongated worn/chipped spot (3/16 inch wide) on the black end, crazing throughout the varnish and white stripe, other spots/dirt/discoloration/use wear throughout. The metal portions have the expected worn/tarnished look and feel with dark spotting. The strainer part is in very nice used shape, with no holes or tears but overall wear, spots of dirt/discoloration, etc. There is a rounded bumpiness to the cone shape of the strainer as to be expected from things sitting in the strainer while the water dripped out from use.

A nice used piece "with charatcter".

Vintage Rustic-looking Wood Rolling Pin, Kitchen Baking Collectible Old Wood Rolling Pin, measures about 17 inches in length, 2 inches in diameter to the rolling portion. There is a small hole through one handle to permit adding a string for hanging. This pin was left to have the original raised lines to the wood or striations still visible throughout, rather than being filed smooth (you can feel the striations in addition to seeing them), so it has a nice rustic appearance. While we're not certain, from the pattern to the striations it looks like this rolling pin was made from just one piece of wood cut to this shape.

Good vintage used condition. As visible in the image, there is much wear to the top outer brown coloring to the rolling pin throughout. There is also some unevenness to one handle, with indentations rather than an even line, but we think this may be how the wood originally was or else a flaw in how the piece was made. A very nice primitive-looking piece which would make a great addition to any collection of antique kitchen collectibles, kitchen utensils or woodenware.
