BerryBaby is on a distinguished road
I've had mine for years..before I even knew who she was. Did she 'invent' these? She must have been very young if she did.

My grandfather was the inventor of the hand squeezing, flour sifter. We have the original proto-type and patent papers. He sold it to a major manufacturer way back when.

He also would design cookie cutters and make those in his basement. Had all the equipment and he would take us all down there for demonstrations. It was fascinating as he drew them and would use these big pieces of metal to make them one by one.

Also made specialty cake pans for bakers in Chicago. He was very talented...oh, and he was also a professional opera singer. His life was very full and he passed away at 89. So many wonderful memories!
