I find this very old

with just light wear to the round

Oval, Triangle, Diamond, Set of Three Early Flat Bottom Tin Cutters woven basket I find this very oldI find these quite satisfying. No sign that there were ever handles, and no holes in the flat backs, just the purest sorts of cutters, with the edges of the undersides just barely exceeding the outlines of the shapes. Such that they would make nice vessels for holding some little things now too (say a beautiful stone or two.) But perfect just as minimalist objects. Lovely, and early ones.
