Offering this awesome, very hard to find old Anton Reiche chocolate mold. I believe it’s meant to be a Buddha. It has the name “TSO KAY” at the base of the platform on which the plump, praying figure is sitting. There are some faint/indiscernible words on the edge underneath the title. The front half of the mold has a “1” and the model number of 17525. The back half of the mold has a “3” and the Anton Reiche Dresden stamp flanked by a 3 and a 1, which I’m told means it was manufactured in 1931. The front and back fit pretty well as shown, though there is slight overlap of material on the top curve. Comes with one clip as shown. Pictures with flash wash out some of the patina, so for reference, the first picture most accurately represents the finish. There is normal use-related scuffing, age-related patina, and a bump to the tip of the nose, but overall this is in nice condition with no cracks, losses, or repairs. Measures about 4 1/4″ tall x 2 3/4″ wide x 1 7/8 deep. This item is in the category “Collectibles\Kitchen & Home\Baking Accs. & Cake Decorating\Sugarcraft & Chocolate Molds”.
