Description

Is a an improvised homemade mold. This is a foundry mold for properly making brass plaques. It has a funnel entrance in the top. The lid closes and locks down. A clamp is put on the handles. The molten metal would be poured in through the funnel top. It would then, when they're cooled off, be shaken out to be used repeatedly. There's a bit of engineering going into this. Not a factor in 19, but would work very effectively.
