Apple Antique Die Cut Forms for cutting Victorian Scrapbook stickers
Apple Antique Die Cut Forms. Victorian lithograph paper “scraps” were originally sold in gummed sheets which had to be hand cut with scissors. A bit Later, factory cutting tools of razor sharp metal with wooden centers sheared them out. Two examples of apple cutters. There was no reason for anyone to dapple paint one of these apples…I don’t know if it was done in the factory or later for the antique aftermarket. The sticker scraps are still being made…Seen any apple computer stickers lately?
