Rustic-looking Old Wood Rolling Pin A
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.

Large Hand Carved Wood Scoop
This is a large hand carved wood scoop -- you can see it was definitely hand made from the ridges from the tool used to carve out the bowl portion in the front, and the ridges along the entire length of the back. Uncertain of age, but doesn't look new, and it's neat to find pieces that were handmade (hand made) or hand carved rather than machine manufactured.
Measures 11 1/8 inches in length, 5 1/8 inches greatest width, and sits 2 3/8 inches in height due to deep bowl. Made of one piece of wood, with a carved notch on the backside at the top of the handle to help hang on the rim of something (bowl, pot, etc.). Very nice condition, but there is a small chip (roughly round, 1/4 inch in diameter) on the backside of the shaft about halfway up the piece, and two small hairlines extending downward from this chip (one 7/8 inch in length, the other 1 1/4 inches in length) -- someone must have knocked this on something. There is staining or spotting on the interior bowl portion, with this appearing as a light wood color rather than the dark staining which the interior of the bowl has. On the topside of the rim of the bowl there is a higher portion in one spot, probably indicating that the wood near it was chipped away during use (but it's possible that this was a flaw in the carving), with a second spot on the other side also exhibiting this, but to a much lesser degree.
We don't think any of this takes away from the great look of the piece, but just supports it having age and having been used (our guess is that it was used as a dry scoop, rather than one for soup, etc., from the look of the wear, but we can't guarantee that).
