Quoted message said:The Cook said:Someone was asking about springerle pins recently. I just got a
catalogue from Kitchen Krafts and they have one. URL is
www.KitchenKrafts.com The item number is BE0200, cost $21.95.
Hi! That was probably me! As Wayne said, I REALLY want an
antique pin, but I may just have to start aging one myself!
Thanks for posting this!
Jean, I should add that most springerle rolling pins, old or new, usually
share very similar designs; e.g., birds, flowers, fruits, etc. The really
intricate and even older classic designs are only found in flat molds into
which you roll the dough with a regular rolling pin.
My own springerle rolling pin was one that I purchased new in Germany, but
I've had it for nearly 40 years. I guess that might qualify it as at least
a vintage item, if not antique.
Some of tghose on eBay are actually vintage pins, not truly antique.
