    Damn! That's a shame.
    Maybe an application of Naval Jelly would dissolve the rust and leave the mold usable? There is also a process called electralisis* that can be set up by handy types w/minimal gear, that cleans rust off to bare metal.**

    *Spell check says that's not right.
    **Never tried this myself, just seen it on the 'net.

    With a little TLC I'm sure they will rise to their full potential again.......

    I found it local at O'reillys auto. I bet most auto stores carry it. It works really well as long as you strip the grease and oil off. It removes blueing as well. It won't penetrate any oil or grease.... it's water based, I think.

    Send it to me and I will tell you it’s a lost cause and make a wall hanger out of it.

    I sincerely doubt that there is any bluing left on that mold to 'ruin'! Evaporust would be my first choice.
