Crimped whirling disc attached to a molded and turned shaft ending in a heart shaped stamp. All elements cast in brass & joined together with a compressed pin and a hammered tenon. I have owned many of these domestic tools made of wood, bone or steel, but this is the first one with a heart shaped stamp. Unmarked, possibly made in England or a colony. It is unpolished and in excellent condition. 19th century. 4 inches long.
