Large Antique Tinsmith Santa Claus Belsnickle Cookie Cutter 10.5 German
Offering this original very old hand made cookie cutter. It is a rare theme, a late 19th century Santa Claus or Belsnickle. Santa is in profile with pointed cap and long beard. He carries a sack with doll and horse toys and holds a stick. Very nice detail throughout. This is a large cutter, measuring about 10.5″ high by 4.5″ wide by 5/8 deep. It has a handle. It has good weight at 7.8 ounces. Overall condition looks good. Some light spots of rust. There is a 1 piece of tin missing where the sack separates from the coat, see my last close up photo. Also, an area at the top boots where the soldering has come undone. Appears to be made in Germany or American Pa Dutch origin. It is not marked. It was found with the group shown of large cookie cutters, the others are listed separately. A very rare and hard to find cutter for the advanced collector. All items I sell are vintage and most are antique. I will point out any flaws that I think are pertinent but ask questions if you are unsure. Thanks so much, I appreciate your business!
