ceramic chimneys used inside pies to let steam escape), and pastry blenders (tools with a handle and blades for cutting butter into flour) were very common.
For Salads & Fruit: Glass lemon squeezers are iconic, and egg slicers with wire cutting frames were also very popular.
For Storage & Preservation: Enamelware in various colors, glass canning jars, and aluminum milk pots were part of everyday life.
If the tool in the photo looks like it has a handle or crank, a hand-cranked egg beater or a meat grinder are strong possibilities. If it’s a small, flat tool with a curved edge, it could be a pastry crimper or a jigger.
If you can describe what the tool looks like—its material, shape, or how it’s used—I can narrow it down further!
