Early 19th Century Sailor Made Pie Crimper, Rare Double Ended Example, Well Made
October 17, 2025

For this sake I have a wonderful early 19th century pie crimper. Made I believe from bone with a thick handle. It is so well made, and I believe it is a sailor made piece. It is double ended, with the wheel at one end and a curved crimped edge at the handle tip. It measures 5 3/4 inches long. It has some nice incised line decoration, adding to the charm of the piece. Rare to be double ended and made from bone, it is in excellent condition, and is a nice piece of early folk art!
