This is an antique or vintage aluminum cookie cutter with a red wood handle likely from the 1930s or 1940s, although we don't know the age for certain. It is in the shape of a club from one of the four playing card deck symbols. It measures about 2 11/16 inches long, 2 1/2 inches wide and sits about 1 5/8 inches in height to the top tip of the pointed wood handle.

The wood handle is firmly attached to the aluminum part (there is no "play" to this handle vs. the base as seen with some of the other cookie cutters). However, it may be that the handle was re-attached here as you can see on the underside that the handle is being held to the aluminum part via a Phillips Head screw (this is how we got it out of a home)...usually the cookie cutters are held together by a smooth curved connecting piece which one could not insert a screw driver into. The outer edges of the cutter are vertically ridged or have a tight scalloping.

The old cookie cutter came out of a home and is in vintage used shape. It is not mint and was likely used but not in bad shape. There are no chips, cracks, bends, etc. The top aluminum surface is flat but does show surface wear (top and underside) from scratches (including scratches around the center screw on the underside which also supports its replacement), scuffs, rubbed spots, some dark dots/dark spots (not bad), some light spotting, and other general use wear. The wood handle is in very nice overall shape, with some dark spots/darkening wear near the tip and general light wear. All supportive of the age of this piece.

A neat cookie cutter to complete your set of playing card symbol cookie cutters, or just a nice addition to any cookie cutter or baking utensil collection or an overall collection of kitchen utensils with red wood handles. With the holes in the aluminum top, a crafty person could also string wire and hang this as an ornament on a Christmas tree as a fun addition.

Please note that we have other cookie cutters and many other 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).
