Description

Interesting layout Mahogany pattern Industrial Foundry Casting Mold Shumcast
10 1/2" wide, 11 1/4" tall, 2 1/2" thick(which includes the cleats on the back)
Solid Mahogany, painted red. Weighs abut 3 pounds
A  piece missing on each end, I think those pieces were gating flows(where the metal would pour into the cavity) and they must have been removed at the foundry.
Since one side is flat, this one would make a great wall hanger.
Today, there are almost no molds made anymore from wood.  They are either made from plastic stock or metal.
This mold  is 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.
