Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 34, Number 61, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 1 April 1902 — An Easter Egg Caster. [ARTICLE]

An Easter Egg Caster.

The Easter egg caster is a rarity and a novelty. To make it, you cut off the smaller ends of three empty shells. It is a good way to trace with a lead pencil the lines where you wish to cut and then puncture thickly with a penknife—a rather dull one is best—cut very slowly and carefully. Fasten the three shells together with ghie, placing them so that they will stand well. On one print “Salt,” on another “Pepper,”ion the third “Mustard.” If you use gilt paint and also gild the rough rims you will not have cause to feel ashamed of your “eggshell Furnish each with a tiny wooden spoon, the thihner the better. If you can whittle them out yourselves neatly, all the more charming the caster will be. The affair Is very easy to make.
