Rolling pin with impressed designs of flowers, birds, fish. Known as a Springley rolling pin, it was similar to the individual Springley molds used to impress designs of fruit, animals, or flowers on German gingerbread and fancy Christmas cakes. The patterns on the rolling pins saved time and trouble, as the patterns could be quickly rolled into the dough.
