Curious Old Pig Mold

Regular price $25.00

I've had one other old toy mold in this shop similar in construction to this pig--which I just found along with what looks to be a tweety bird, listed separately--and find them so evocative and surreal looking, I'm quite fascinated by them. From the front, the body of the pig in profile is divided into three parts, outlined in steel and plugged with wood. It looks from the back like the mold is still filled with black stuff that hardened long ago; perhaps one could pry it out, but I'm not sure. Happily it stands up on its own two feet, with this little piggy looking as if ready to run off to the market!

3 3/8" t x 2 3/8" w x 1" d and in good shape, with a tiny bit of wood loss at the tip of one raised leg and one ear. Pig and the mold number 1335 written in pencil on the head.
