Vintage Industrial Early 1900's Foundry Mold Clock on Gear Base 21.5" Tall

Description

This great old 1900's foundry mold clock is a cool statement piece for your home or office.
It is large and has been carefully crafted into a clock, with vintage numbers hand hammered onto the outer edge.  The clock  mechanics are inside the center that was carved out, to hold them.   We used a vintage gear and welded it to a pipe for the base.

As shown, the foundry mold has great age and wonderful character.  This wooden foundry mold is from the late 1800's to early 1900's. The foundry used these molds in a sand casting process to produce the items in cast iron. The molds were made by specially skilled craftsmen, whose precision woodworking, made perfect replicas of the cast iron piece that their customers requested. This foundry mold is a great old piece of American Industrial history, wonderful for industrial urban decor.   As pictured, some of the paint is missing and it is rough in places from it's use in the foundry.
