A probable copper alloy pastry jigger handle dating from the post medieval period, about AD1600-1800. Only the forked attachment part of the handle survive, with the wheel missing. The handle is oval in section and is divided into sections by groups of three collars and intermittent reels. Each plain part is swollen in the middle. A double collar marks the end of the handle and the start of the attachment arms. The opposite end to the one that is missing the wheel is pointy.

Post Medieval copper alloy pastry jigger, cutter, or crimper wheel. It has radiating grooves and ridges and a serrated zig-zig circumference. There is a central perforation (diameter 5mm) for an axle that would have been set into a handle, both now absent. Dates to between c1500 and c1900AD. The method and style of construction suggest a date earlier in this period. The diameter is 24mm, central perforation diameter 5mm, thickness 2.5mm, and the weight 6.14g.

Bone or antler knife handle plate probably dating from the 18th century. It is of elongated trapezoidal shape and still attached to the iron handle (visible on the reverse). The plate is attached to the iron plate with two rivets, probably made from copper alloy or iron. The bone/anterly plate is incised with the name Cołe or COŁE, possibly relating to a Polish surname suggesting by the use of the Polish letter. The name is surrounded by an insiced geometric pattern of parallel lines and a cross. There is hatching between the parallel lines above and below the name. Identification o…

Copper alloy wheel from a Post-medieval pastry jigger (pastry cutter) dating 1700 to 1800 AD. The wheel is circular with a crimped outer edge and a central perforation. Due to the crimped edge, rolling it over pastry dough would have resulted in a rolled zig-zag line.The length is 113mm, the width is 25mm and the weight 32.71g. Similar to DEV-F49217, DEV-551F52 (bracket/handle), PUBLIC-F0BC67, IOW-610522, HAMP-709713, DEV-E428B8 and LANCUM-FC21F4.
