The beautiful detailing of this mold is best appreciated when displayed open. Perfect for your holiday collecting display, to start a new collection, for crafting or to give as a very special gift. Because of age, I personally feel that this antique might not be food grade and should not be used for making chocolate. Because of age, I personally feel that this antique would not be food grade and should not be used for making chocolate. There has been no effort to restore any of the molds, so as not to compromise their essential value. During WWII many chocolate factories were either forced to shut down or were bombed, leaving very little standing. In order to save these articles of history some molds were buried so as not to be melted down for the use of their metal content, or were lost to the ravages of war. Please see photos which depict the condition of the mold which show wear such as scratches, dents and marks, as these are your main point of reference for condition which are consistent with their age and prior use.
