What is this antique cookie cutter supposed to be?

Your pic, if an example of your query, doesn't show 'bent' as in deformed...to me, anyway.

 

That was one of my guesses but bats don't have 2 round spots.

 

It doesn't have one.

 

That is a possibility.

 

Additional photographs from other angles would be helpful.

Unfortunately she is very non-technical. She wouldn't be able to take a pic and send it to me even if I walked her through the steps.

 

I'm pretty sure Komokwa has it right. The shape of the cutter has the same bump at the bottom of the pipe bowl that most of these old porcelain pipes have.

 

I dunno if it's right or wrong,,,,,,, but it's what I see !!!

 

But do we really think this item was meant to be used as a cookie cutter?

Debora

 

I don't see a cookie cutter at all.

 

The Night Before Christmas Santa had a pipe, and Old King Cole did too. It could be a cookie cutter.

 

Second round spot is the ball. Icing to define shapes.

 

I don't.

Ditto.

 

And as no further photographs are going to be forthcoming, not sure what further help can be given.

Debora

 

Agree.

 

Thanks everyone.

 

My friend took it to a primitives collector who told her it was an old German pipe. The collector had one too.

Thanks komokwa!

 

it takes a village........... even the village idiot !!!
