Cookie cutters

We're only here for the graphics.... I love the Cookie Cutters font. But the manufacturer's name GMT Co. warranted a quick google...and amazingly enough this supplier of kitchen gadgets has had their story told;

In 1883 Gustav M. Thurnauer opened a store located at 84 Duane St. in New York City, in 1887 he (and his brother) moved down to 66-68 Duane St. where they soon occupied four floors selling kitchen utensils and related merchandise.

 According to the history at Porcelainmarksandmore.com the company was still around in 1964, having published a booklet named "Fashions in Gadgets"... something else to search for!
