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 diameter is 19mm and the weight 9.22g. Similar to DEV-F49217, DEV-551F52 (bracket/handle), PUBLIC-F0BC67, IOW-610522, HAMP-709713, DEV-E428B8 and LANCUM-FC21F4.
