RARE Vintage Millinery Feather Plume Flower Leaf Tool Mold Cutter SET #29
January 29, 2025
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 2 inch by 3 1/2 inch feather plume. This is a rare one! First, there is the cutter. It’s 5 inches tall and the cutter head is almost 4 inches long and 2 3/4 inches wide. 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 feather mold complete with top and bottom. Top is made of bronze and the bottom I believe is made of iron. Top is 2 inches wide by 8 1/2 inches long including the wood handle. It’s 1 inch thick. The bottom is 2 1/2 by 4 inches. It’s one inch thick. When you put the top and bottom together it’s 1 1/2 inches thick. You could clean this up a bit more and have it as shiny as the day it was made if you like. I do put a light coating of beeswax on it to keep any iron parts from rusting.
