Pennsylvania Rye Basket with Pie Crimper Bone WheelThis beautiful pie crimper dating from 1840 ~ 1860 having a lath turned wooden handle and a bone wheel is a very special piece of kitchenware. The wheel carved from whale bone was probably fashioned from a sailors hand out on his long journey at sea while the handle was finely turned by a craftsman on land. There is a tiny chip located on the lower portion of the wooden handle near the wheel as shown. Glorious warm patina is evident on the handle
