Product Description – Great antique chocolate mold of two rabbits. Clips are all present and function properly. Signed by the T.C Waygandt Co – with MADE IN DRESDEN GERMANY also impressed on the mold. This one has a great patina with a pair of well defined bunnies sitting atop decorated eggs. The mold measures 9 inches in width and about 4 inches in height and is Circa 1900-1920s. This is an older example imported from Germany and has all the earmarks one would expect from an Antique Chocolate mold. Great addition to any high end collection.
Mr. T.C. Weygandt, New York, NY. was the sole U.S. agent for Anton Reiche chocolate molds from 1885-1942. When Germany began preparing for war in the 1930’s, Weygandt was unable to get chocolate molds from Reiche and began manufacturing molds himself, initially copying known Reiche designs. He eventually developed his own molds. Weygandt’s early molds were marked “T.C. WEYGANDT Co. NEW YORK” on two lines. Most of Weygandt’s molds have no manufacturer’s marks, just 3 digit numbers. Characteristic of his later molds is a flange that appears to be cut in a ‘V’.
Provenance – Purchased from an estate in Manassas, Virginia along with several other molds we were fortunate enough to find. Stay tuned…
