**Win multiple listings before I ship & I will send you a BONUS! **
Vintage cake, angel cheesecake cutter with a butterscotch marbled handle made of stainless steel with minor wear. Excellent kitchen collectible, nice for use or mounting for show! Overall length is 11 inches and tines are 4 inches long. Using on an angel cake prevents crushing the soft cake like a knife does. Nice on wedding cakes too!

Questions & Comments

LOL these were used for afro hairstyles. Or another word for them were called picks, with or without the handles. just saying ;)

Guess you could, the prongs are quite long for that tho- but they were initially for cutting angel cake

Sorry, not exactly positive what the other way would look like??? I googled picks, but not much explanation on how to use it. Still interested though.

Use it in the same direction that you would a nice the difference is that it does not crush the cake.

@Africurean....you don't drag it through the cake. It is pushed straight down to form a perforated line....then you use a knife to serve. You would poke down then lift up and poke down again. Hope that helps! Very cool item! :)

Quite true

Lol my mother had one. She thought it was to poke the cake and then drizzle the sauce, or chocolate, icing over so it would go in the cake. You'd have to know my mother to get the humor. She was helpless in the kitchen. It would have ruined her 'jackie-o' manucure, clothes, etc.

good memories...

What an interesting piece. So, I guess the slices would be about 1/2 thick?

Use it the other way. ..

Is that what these are for I have a think a wooden one and it was my grandmothers and I never knew what it was for

Oct 24th, 2015 at 10:26:30 PM PDT by

yes, took me awhile a few years ago with another one to find out the use. work well with angel cake.

Well, I don't think my mother would use for afro hairstyles back in the 40s. She was Native American, with straight hair , ni wave to it. He hair never tangled naturally. Lol it was a kitchen item that was kept in with the utensils. ☆☆

Probably people used it for whatever they had a need for...

This is a affro hair comb. They had to make them illegal due to kids hitting other kids at school and making their blood shoot. I've seen it done back in the 70's when I was in middle school.

Long before what you say you think it is it was a CAKE CUTTER for angel cake. Perhaps kids took it for the use you say but it's REAL use if for cutting cakes. This one is from the early 20th century.

The comments people make!!!! Wow. Their trolling your auction just got them blocked from ever commenting or buying my stuff. Horrible :/
Good luck w your awesome auction!! Bakelite lasts like a million years!

I know right? Just showing their true selves! Yes, love Bakelite too, and butterscotch is "yummy"!

Best hair accessory I ever had, back in the day. I have natural wavy hair and certainly could use this now. Great auction!
