~~Extraordinary 19th c. Tin Flatback Cookie Cutter - Peafowl~~
There is a nice large centered hole and the early oxidation is wonderful.
A "Flatback" cookie cutter is the forerunner of the later ones made with a handle. They do not have a handle, nor did they ever have one! They were made with a hole, at times somewhat large, in the flat tin backer. They would have been handled by either the edge of the tin backer or the hole, depending on its size.
It is 3 1/2 inches tall and 3 1/2 inches wide. A sweet size...but power packed! No repairs & no restoration.
Circa: 19th c. Berks County Pennsylvania origin.
