Little Bird, Antique Handmade Flat-back Cookie Cutter mini bowling with her seated body itself

with her seated body itself feeling rather like a bowl for the bowl resting in her lap

into which two dots for eyes were carved

this one a Dachshund sans rear legs

and some loss to the transfer of "girl"

which just cry out to me to be brought home

Little Bird, Antique Handmade Flat-back Cookie Cutter mini bowling with her seated body itselfI look at old handmade tin cookie cutters all the time, but rarely feel compelled to buy one, but then this little bird, as tiny as they come, with kind of a funny shape to the head and very charming swallowtail sort of end. I'd be very tempted to use this to make many many dozens of little bird cookies, but maybe better just to perch it. Very sweet. 2 1 8 l x 1 1 2 x 3 8 and in good antique condition, with just a bit of separation between the cutter
