History

This wooden dough bowl was manufactured by the Munising Wood Products Company, which operated in Michigan's Upper Peninsula from approximately 1911 to the 1950s. The company was known for producing high-quality wooden kitchenware items, including bowls, spoons, and other utilitarian objects that were distributed nationwide. Munising wooden bowls are highly sought after by collectors of American kitchenware and primitive Americana. Their appeal stems from both their historical significance in American manufacturing and their durable, functional design. Collectors particularly value authentic Munising pieces with visible maker's marks for their connection to early 20th century domestic life and American craftsmanship.
