Rare Vintage Millinery Rose Leaf Flower Iron Tool Mold Brass Antique Cutter

Description

This is beautiful just as something to set around even if you never intend to use it. It has a gorgeous patina. Imagine all the leaves that were actually made with this. This is a really rare 3 piece set that's complete. First, there is the cutter. It's 4 3/4 inches long and the cutter head is about 2 inches across and 3 inches long. Still sharp and ready to use. The cutter is made of iron. There is also a 2 part leaf mold complete with top and bottom. The bottom part is made of iron and is 7 3/4 inches long including the wood handle. The top is about 3 inches long and 2 1/4 inches across and 3/4 inch deep of solid brass. When the top veiner and bottom are put together it's 1 3/4 inches thick. This makes a Wild Rose leaf. This is quite usable and you could actually cut and form a leaf today exactly how it was done years ago. Wonderful also just for display. Has a great patina. If you wanted you could polish the brass to its original color and clean up the iron bottom. The 3 pieces together weigh about 2 pounds so this is a substantial and serious tool. Yes I combine shipping. Or will do a refund if you overpay.
