Found Bakery Paddle

These vintage wooden paddles were collected from bakeries from around Hungary and Germany. Used to place and remove loaves of bread as well as the Hungarian and German version of a pizza, “lángos” and “Flammekueche”, into the large wood-fired ovens, the paddles were also a quintessential accessory used in big outdoor ovens in the rural countryside. These long-handled paddles date back to the mid-1900s and vary in size, shape and patina. No two are alike, and each one is naturally aged with unique markings and carvings, making it one-of-a-kind.
