Like your photos....if they were mine I would be making leaves out of everything.....pie crust.....

great job wayward.  If I had only enlarged the last pic she originally posted I would have noticed a open notch on the end!!!!!

Good job Wayward!

You say there were a bunch of these- I wonder if someone in your early family was a milliner or if they were just something your FIL collected?

The big name in making these molds was Molla.  Here is an auction and it's values realized.

Interesting site! Shows how to make the material flowers:

Shows what a glass maker did with a mold!

By-the-way Talesof....I think there are a variety of molds in your pics!  Different uses.  See many cake/candy molds that I have seen over the years!

Cool millinery site! I'll have to share that one on my reenactors forum. The ladies will love it!

Can you clue me in as to which types of molds are which KC? I'd like to know more about these!

haha! no problem!  LOVE being a hostess!   ;D

So I put the thing in vinegar, and cleaned it with a toothbrush.  I had NO idea the bottom was copper!  What more can I do to clean it?
