Can Someone Tell Me What This Is?

This is one of the things I found while sorting stuff that came from either my mom or my husband's mom. Hubby says he never saw his mom use it, and it does look more like something my mom would have bought.
I found it in a sack along with cookie cutters, biscuit cutters, and cake decorating tools. I'm guessing it has something to do with cutting dough. Can any of you into baking tell me what it is so I can figure out how to describe it when I list it to sell?
The photo shows two different views. My guess is that it turns over biscuit or cookie dough to make cut-outs, sort of like a rolling pin, but I still need a name for it.

But it looks so shiny and new. If it were old, I would have seen her use it when I was growing up. Unless it was my husband's mother's. But he never saw it either. It's possible one of them could have bought it after we left home in 1964. Would you consider that old?

@bagarad I have checked online, it's old, it's very old, this specific design is of the late 50's. It is very possible that it looks like new because nobody used it. In the apartment of my mother there are plenty of things that are more than 60 years old and look like new, she does not use them.

Such are the wonders of the Internet and the myLot community combined! You have your answer, I believe! Now, I would immediately go and roll out some cookie dough, use the cutter and bake the cookies to display in the photo when you put it on eBay!

I probably won't put it on eBay. I'm listing these things in a local Facebook Buy Sell group to avoid having to ship. I discontinued my shipping program when I stopped selling books. It's too expensive unless I'm shipping regularly. Maybe when I get enough things listed I will do eBay again and get the shipping program back, but I'm not ready for that right now. EBay also collects a lot in fees. The FB group is free.

That much I had figured out because of how it was packaged. I just needed a name for it.

@bagarad Wooden handles remind me of the days when things were made by hand. Things had a nice way to them then. I have a Foley food mill that has a worn red wooden handle. There are so many woods, too. One of my old dressers is oak; another is made of teak and bamboo. Craftsmanship that isn't made these days.

I see it didn't take too long for someone to find an answer for you.

MyLotters are very wise. Between them, someone is always likely to answer the hard questions.
