4 Small Fun Vintage Natural Wood finished patterns Foundry casting molds
Really neat  little wood patterns.
Just because they are small doesn't mean they were easy to make.
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.
This was the original wood mold, my fathers' business was subcontracted by a  foundry to make this original mold.
Made from mahogany and one is cherry.
One with the hole 5 3/4” wide,  4 3/8” high, 1 1/2” wide at widest
Barrel shaped  4 1/4”, 1 3/4” wide
Cherry turning 5 1/8” long 1 1/2” wide
Two rounds attached by center piece: 6 3/8” long 1 5/8” high  diameter on round ends , 2 1/2” diameter
