The largest collection of cookie cutters I ever encountered was at the South Pole. We made a wide variety of Christmas cookies.
Also they had the largest VHS tape collection. No thrift stores to donate to.

Did anyone else read as far as the first 3 words of that headline, and tremble with excitement that someone had discovered some long-lost piano rag, or the handwritten orchestration for Treemonisha?

Not as such; I briefly speculated about Janis Joplin having had a thing about baking I hadn’t known about.

My uncle once made a cookie cutter from a coffee can.

What shape was it?

It was a hippo. He made it because he couldn’t find (pre internet) a hippo cookie cutter.

Thanks, this video is surprisingly interesting. That machine is really neat. I hope that the operators are in a happy environment.
