View Full Version : Mold Storage Box?

Recently, I took possession of a matched set of two Hensley & Gibbs, 6 cavity molds with handles. These appeared to be in their original H&G white storage boxes and were wrapped in a Treated Non-Rust Paper. The boxes are, white, 4" x 3" x 15" and have the tang flaps that kind of lock the top closed.

The molds fit perfectly in these boxes.

Does anyone know where I can buy some more of these types of cardboard boxes? I would like to get my mold collection in order and this seems like a great way to store them neatly.

Also, where can one find the oil paper for sale?

The paper says... "NOX-RUST VAPOR WRAPPER" Type 1 CLass 3 MIL-P-3420E

Daubert Coated Products Inc. Westchester, IL Mfgd - Nov 1987

(Note: I looked up Daubert and found them on the web. I called them, they do sell
the treated paper but the smallest quantity sold is a 1,000 sheet box 12" x 12".
Perhaps this would be good for a group buy?!)

This is a tan colored treated paper and appears to have been with the molds
since made by Hensley & Gibbs.

Any help on getting a lead on boxes or this treated paper would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Try Uline for boxes. They have a lot of boxes and packaging stuff.

They also have rust inhibitors...

Kind of big orders on the paper, maybe do a group order...

Cheese and Shilo:
Thanks so much for the tips! I should have thought of Brownells right from the start! I will add some of the rust inhibitor paper to my next order with them.

Still looking for the boxes... thanks again!

Found the boxes.... a 950 card capacity Baseball Card Storage Box is 16 x 3 x 4 aprox inside dimensions and you can get these at typical sports card stores or ebay. I also ordered the GunPaper from Brownell's. This will be a nice way to store my H&G mold collection and keep all my other multi-cavity molds in order.
