This is an antique or vintage aluminum cookie cutter with a green wood handle likely from the 1930s or 1040s, although we don't know the age for certain. It is round with outer edges that are ridged or have a tight scalloping. It has a diameter of about 2 3/8 inches and sits about 1 3/4 inches in height to the tip of the aluminum top piece on the wood handle. This appears to be an aluminum rod which goes through the handle to the underside of the cookie cutter.

The old cookie cutter is in nice overall used shape. It is not mint and was used in baking cookies. Most importantly, the green paint on the handle while visible seems very faded or worn. It may not have been a brightly finished surface paint to begin with, but regardless now has a worn, faded, used look with the brown from the wood showing through. We still find this appealling and supportive of the age, but you should know this is how it is. On the aluminum on the top of the wood handle there is an indented curved mark. This piece is not a screw as the curved mark in the picture might suggest, but something must have pressed hard into this at some point in the past. The aluminum portion has a used, slightly dirty appearance to it, with scratches, scuffs, spotting, tarnishing, general worn look (we didn't really clean this piece as many people want the used look, and are selling it as is/as found). Also, as you can see in the underside image, the sides of the cutter have been dented or pressed inward slightly from use so that it is no longer totally round. None of this is unexpected for a used piece of this age and adds to the believeability of age.

A nice cookie cutter to add to any cookie cutter or baking utensil collection or an overall collection of kitchen utensils with green wood handles.
