“A Boy on a Reindeer” began it’s journey in Czechoslovakia, one of the few possessions owned by a man who baked for the nobility.
He fled the country during the war, bringing what little he had to America. In 1976, he met Mary Webb who had opened her bakery, “Crumble Station”, in Sudbury, Massachusetts.
Mary was intrigued by his description of the cookie mold and purchased it from him, sight unseen.
Since then, the boy on the reindeer has watched over Mary’s bakeries and shops; Crumble Station until 1986, The Sweet Patch Café in Newbury, New Hampshire, from 1990 to 2001 and most recently, The Rolling Pin in Warner, New Hampshire since 2003.
The rich history of the cookie mold is evident in the flour that is still embedded in the wood after years of use.
The care that Mary has given to preserve its condition is a testament to her love of baking and her appreciation of the story surrounding this special piece of history.

The Mold Measures 30”w X 37”h
