Description

This great old foundry mold measures 30 1/2" long by 6 1/2" tall   and is 8 1/2" deep.      The last two photos show the ends of the top of the shelf.  They have some foundry hardware in the and and the black side does show wear.   The yellow paint on the mold that reads Shelf 5- K, is from the foundry, when we took the molds out of the foundry, we noticed that each company the foundry did work for had their own shelf for mold storage.
This wooden foundry mold is from the early 1900's. It came from the Carthage Foundry in Carthage Missouri. The foundry opened in 1872 and made all kinds of cast iron items, but specialized in the mining industry. The Carthage Foundry made most all of the iron for all mining South and West of Missouri. 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. We have other foundry molds as well, please check our other listings.
