Large Rare Vintage Millinery Mum Serrated Leaf Tool Mold Bronze Cutter SET #25
October 21, 2024
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. Makes a large finely serrated leaf that looks like a chrysanthemum leaf but it might be something else. This will work great on velvet. The deep indentations are great for velvet fabric. First, there is the cutter. It’s 4 3/4 inches tall and the cutter head is about 2 3/4 inches across and 3 inches long. Please note that it’s not like cutting out cookies. You’ll need a heavy rubber mallet and a LOT of force 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 I believe iron and is 2 1/2 inches wide by 8 3/4 inches long including the wood handle. It’s one inch thick. The bronze top is 3 by 3 inches. When you put the top and bottom together it’s 1 3/4th inch thick. You could clean this up a bit more and have it as shiny as the day it was made if you like. I think there is still a bit of fabric lint clinging to the indentations of the mold.
