Ingot Moulds

[Leeammo]

Just for anybody that is interested. I noticed interest in another post in cast iron ingot moulds. Here are pictures of two this I have used for 35 years. The stick mould I use for my alloy and the other I use for my lino, never any confusion! These are available on Evilbay for a few dollars each if you are careful and bid only on unnamed trays. Don't bid on the named collectors stuff buy the cheap unmarked ones! They both cast in the 1 1/2 pound ingot range so you are looking at about 16 pounds per pour.

I have one like the one on the right, found it on e-bay. Guess you guys weren't looking that day! Use it for my pure lead ingots so I can tell them apart from the linotype and wheelweights.

Both of the molds shown are patterns originally produced by Griswold, Wagner and Wapak. The one on the left is a bread stick pan and the one on the right is a roll pan sometimes used to bake bread rolls or cornbread muffins. They're regularly found on the E pay network under their respective names or under cast iron. There are several variations of each that were produced at various times since the early 1900's. The collectors of cast iron can and do get hysterical about items such as these and the bidding can get crazier than what goes on at times with boolit molds. Finding one cheap on the net is a tough trick to turn and antique shops are worse so its better to prowl around yard, garage, or attic sales, etc. where folks haven't read the "books" yet. In addition to cranking out dynamite baked stuff they do in fact make excellent ingot molds. If you find one its a good idea to check out if there is writing on the back and get informed first as to whether or not you are in possession of an item that is worth more than a new RCBS Pro-Melt and a lot of regular ingot molds thrown in on the deal.
