We've had many a chocolate & ice cream molds, but this one is by far,one of my favorites.What better time to show this nice Rabbit,right before the Easter Holiday.Rabbits are the most popular& sought after form of chocolate molds. This one is what is known as a three piece meaning that it's hinged, banded, & clamped. Many times collectors take off the band for display purposes. The bands are used for support only ; a rabbit this size holds almost 10 lbs. of chocolate. I believe this rabbit to be copper underneath the plating, as it's very heavy & I can faintly see copper in the worn areas.There are a few dings & scratches from use, but they in no way affect the integerity of the piece.On the bottom of the mold is incised 236, which probaly is the model # of the piece.Also I can make out the manufactures name, which is Weygandt Co. New York, NY.
ost of the old molds were made in Germany,France, etc. The detail in this mold is wonderful ; I can see why it's referred to as "Rabbit with a Sack on the Back".
