This is exactly like the one my mom had when I was little. Every Christmas we made Spritz cookies together (our favorite). It was a holiday tradition that will always be in my heart.
After using it for MANY years, I remember donating it. We thought we should have the lastest & greatest....which was plastic, & didn't work well at all. Ever since then I've tried various cookie presses & they have ALL been terrible for one reason or another.
This morning I was looking at Amazon, reading cookie press reviews, & I pretty much gave up (not many people were loving their presses!) Then it dawned on me...Ebay. I knew if I could find one like we had when I was little, it would be the last press I'd need to buy. Well, there are A LOT of them over there. I found one that the seller said didn't look like it had ever been used (the pictures looked great). Of course the box was tattered, but I don't care. I'm just so happy to have found one of these vintage presses. Feeling very nostalgic today....
