Butter Stamp or Press w/ Bird

Price: 95

Sold by West Pelham Antiques

This round carved butter stamp features a bird as the central image. There is a molded border and some accent lines on the face of the press. Carved out of single piece of wood (maple, I think) the press is 2 7/8" in diameter and about 2 1/2" high (top of knob handle). Although there are several age cracks, both on the handles on on the face of the press, it is solid. And it has a very smooth, worn surface.
