This is a rare, antique American pewter mold in the shape of Father Knickerbocker, the symbol of New York City. This is a very heavy mold done in three sections. The figure of a man’s head with colonial style hat and colonial hair (see pony-style hair in back section). The back section has the mark of the Eppelsheimer co. With no mold number. Although we did not see a mold number on the object, with the information from another eBayer, it is Eppelsheimers, 994. This is the only example of this type we have seen. H: 4 ½”, W: 4 ½”.
