Antique Country Primitive Tin Tapered Candle 12-tube Mold, 19th Century

Here is an antique colonial tin candle mold in very good shape. It dates to the early to middle 1800s and has hand-soldered seams. It's a 12-tube mold that can make a dozen 9.5-inch-long tapered candles all aat once. Prior to electricity, nearly every home had one of these. Its overall height is 10 7/8 inches and the base is 3/4inches long by 4 1/2 inches wide. The patina is original and does not have rust or corrosion. It shows age and signs of use. It's just as we found it, still a bit dusty and dirty from decades of forgotten storage. It's full of primitive charm and displays nicely on fireplace hearths, mantles, early cupboards, and among other colonial antiques. Here's a chance to decorate your home with an important 19th Century household item at a reasonable price!
