Description
C-17493
Original boxed set of tin-plated steel cookie cutters, marketed "For All Party Occasions." The set includes assorted whimsical shapes such as animals, stars, hearts, and figures, housed in the original cardboard box with red, white, and blue printed graphics. The box lid depicts outline examples of the cutters within. Cookie cutter sets of this type were widely sold in the mid-20th century as household baking aids, often marketed as affordable kitchen novelties for birthdays, holidays, and school functions. Their bright packaging and playful designs reflected the era’s emphasis on home entertaining and festive presentation.
Wear and creasing to box lid with edge losses; cutters show tarnish and light oxidation consistent with age and use but remain intact.
Box: 8" W x 6.5" D x 1.5" H
