    2 Vintage Solid Mahogany valve patterns Foundry Casting Molds
    Really neat wood patterns, solid  mahogany
    7 1/4" long, and 8" long , similar but not identical, different jobs.
    Today, there are almost no molds made anymore from wood.  They are either made from plastic stock or metal.
    These molds are  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.
    My fathers' business was subcontracted by a  foundry to make these original wood molds.
    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.
