Manufacturer: Bakelite
A small vintage bakelite handle cheese server, similar in shape to the pie server but smaller. This one differs from the other small cheese server which we have listed as "A" in that it is slightly longer in length, has a broader type of metal connector between the server blade and handle, the handle is rounded without the rectangular line edges as in "A", the handle flares/curves outward to one side at the lower end, and the bakelite coloring of the handle is a richer, deeper brown with a slightly mottled lighter brown coloring to it.
Measures about 7 inches in length, 1 1/2 inches greatest width across the metal and a depth to the handle of 5/8 inch. On one side at the base of the metal serving section is stamped the word, "Stainless".
This piece does not have any major chips, cracks or crazing but does show expected age/use wear. There is a tiny edge chip on the bottom edge rim of the handle on one side, measuring about 1/16 inch in width. On the bakelite handle there is a scraped line type area on one side measuring about 1/2 inch in length but not wide, at only about 1/16 inch in width. Other wear on the handle includes scratches, pin/pit dots and general wear. The bottom edge of the handle while smooth has a multiple thin line effect as was made in manufacture. On the cheese server blade on both sides there is surface wear in the form of many line scratches as one would see from much use and polishing/cleaning, some scuffing, etc. None of this "jumps out" when you first see the piece, and we don't judge any of it to be bad, but rather expected evidence of age and use.
An older used piece not often seen in this smaller size, with the wear adding to the believability of 1940s/50's age. A good addition to any bakelite kitchen utensil or bakelite handle kitchen tool collection, or general grouping of bakelite collectibles or bakelite kitchen collectibles.
Please note that we have many other Bakelite kitchen items listed separately for sale. If you wish to purchase more than one, please e-mail us before placing the order since the shipping information has been inputted for a purchase of just one and will not calculate the savings you would get when purchasing more than one shipped together in the same package (we will need to handle this for you). |
