c.1890`s Molded Chocolate Bike Racer made from Antique French Candy Mold (Made by Kay in 1983) |
This solid chocolate racer is a sample of what the mold produces. Kay melted chocolate, poured it into the mold, let it set and dry, then carefully separated the mold (which is in two halves) then wrapped it after a few days of hardening. We have kept it for 24 years, through two moves, and it is still in good condition. [Item# Food-Candy.b] |

c.1890`s Iron Candy Mold, 3-Cavity No.1-12 |
This is an iron candy mold used to make candy in the shape of someone riding a high wheel bicycle. The molds (two half`s) weigh 3 lbs. On the bottom of the two half`s there is the numbers 1 & 12 stamped into the iron material. The dimensions are 6 5/8 x 2 3/8 inches. The thickness of the complete mold is 1 inch. I`ll try to get Kay to make some candy using this mold so we can see if it is a monkey or a person riding the Ordinary. Thanks to friend, Lorne Shields for his help in describing this item. See the picture gallery. [Item# Food-Candy.b-77] |
