    2 Cherry Old Core plug patterns nestled in a parting block Foundry Casting Molds
    These 2 core plugs patterns are neat little geometric examples
    Solid cherry, difficult to work with, very durable.
    Parting block is 9" by 7" by 2 1/4"
    Patterns are 2 3/4" by 1 1/2" at the widest.
    The base that the pattern sits in is called a parting block. It is used in part of the casting process. The pattern nestles into it,  it took a really skilled craftsman to assemble this.
    This is a really great Pattern Making example!
    Overall  very nice condition.
    oday, there are almost no molds made anymore from wood.  They are either made from plastic stock or metal.
    This mold  is from an age of days gone by, where most patterns were made from wood.
    Pattern making is a  highly skilled trade that required a lot of handwork years ago, now most everything is made with CAD CAM machines.   Pattern making required often working within 5/1000ths of an inch, and was one of the highest paid trades.
    My father is winding down his 50 year pattern industry business, and this came from his pattern archives.
    Specifically, I do not know what  this was for, it is old enough that records are no longer available to identify  it.  It was for some large piece of machinery.
    This was the original wood mold, my fathers' business was subcontracted by a  foundry to make this original mold.
    Made from solid mahogany, left natural color, varnished.   My fathers' shop either painted all red, or left natural wood
    See my other wood pattern molds I am offering!
    Overall  very nice condition.
    This will make a great wall decoration if you love industrial related items!
    Decorate your shop or man cave.
