"Hello, The piece at top with the wood handle is unmarked, overall length is 18". The fluted piece appears to be solid steel, 1-3/4" tall, and tapers from the top 2" to 1-5/8" at the bottom.Vendor thought it may be cooking related? I know what the black painted piece is, just putting it out there. The top has a flat spring, and the wire rod moves upward, away from the bottom. In raised figures on the handle B & H, and PAT. 6-14-21 . I looked at a similar tool , but it had a later patent date around 1937. Regards, Lou

Bottom one is a meat tenderizer, I believe.

Hello, Papaw. That is correct!!! The patent number that I found for this style meat tenderizer is 2098856A, granted on November 11th 1937. The handle on the one in the photo is marked 6-14-21, but I couldn't find the connection for that date. Any guesses on the other item? Thanks, Lou

The other item looks like one of those things you dip into a batter, then into hot oil to make pastry shells. The ones I have seen before the fluted end piece would unscrew so you could put different shaped pieces on. They were also aluminum.

Hello, Lewill2. Thanks for the quick reply. The fluted piece is steel, and appears to be fixed to the bent rod. I will research a little more with your lead. Thanks again, Lou

I think that Lewil was referring to rosette pastry molds where they have diff. shapes.
the one that LPTOOLS is showing looks like perhaps you would wrap the dough around the fluted end
and heat it to make the shell. with the wooden handle, you would be able to handle it if heated.
??? deep fried dough shells ????

Hello, I found one on the web. Here is the name that they are using . "Traditional Kuih Pie Tee (Top Hat Mini Tart) Shell Mold". I am not normally in the pastry tool section at the flea. There was a table where the items were $2.00 each, or 3 for $5.00. I needed one more item to round things out!!!! Thanks again, Lou

Now you need to find out if there's a pastry baking forum on which people are clamoring for that particular design.

I will admit I like to eat, and used to use these for fancy stuff. The shells made great cups for goodies, dust them with powdered sugar, pour in something containing strawberry jam, after awhile you can pack on the pounds just sniffing them.
