The rabbit is sitting with his paws out. The condition of the rabbit is commensurate with its age and commercial use. Obviously, there are rust issues. Provenance: The chocolate mold was used by a professional confectioner in Monroeville, PA (outside of Pittsburgh). The confectionery was known as Danny’s Candies formerly located at 3828 Wm. The son told me that his father started out in business with a donut shop and then expanded to offer candies and chocolates. For ease of use, I believe that this confectioner added on the hinges and clamps to this chocolate mold. The Easter eggs, Hershey box, wood block, and the ruler shown in some of the photographs are not included in the sale. I specialize in antique chocolate molds and Halloween items.
