Collector's Notes
Handled aluminum cutters and bent ribbon forms represent two familiar approaches to older metal cookie cutter construction, and this lot puts both styles together.
The mix suits someone building a holiday baking collection or looking for older shapes that can still be used rather than displayed only.
This group stands out for its variety, with animals, Christmas figures, angels, gingerbread forms, a tree, all included in one lot.
Ten different shapes make this an easy group to keep together rather than hunting for the forms one at a time.
