Up for Sale is an Unusual Vintage Wood Foundry Form produced for a piece of Scientific Equipment. OMG! Last photo shows where I first spotted this Half Sphere Form in the Foundry. The form is Hollow inside but quite heavy and made of wood with aluminum letters mounted to the surface. Made for the Ocean Research Equipment Co. in Falmouth, Massachusetts. Falmouth borders the Town of Woods Hole which is a Mecca for the Marine Scientific Community, World Wide. The Foundry would have used this 1/2 Form in the Sand Casting Production Process for a Scientific Research Ocean Sphere. It would have been made from Aluminum so surface will need a thorough cleaning as surface powder and residue rubs off on fingers quite easily, Silver Color. Clear Coat or Sand and Paint would be recommended. Fabulous Conversation Piece as is or Use in Your Next Repurpose Project. Base is 47 1/2" x 43 1/2" and total height of 22", Form itself on the board is 19"H with a 34" Diameter at the base. Approximate Weight is 90-100 lbs.
