About the Item

This pair of industrial stainless steel hand-shaped molds was used to manufacture gloves circa 1950. Those forms are the female and male parts of a complete mold. They will look superb as sculptures or bookends on an étagère or a console. The molds have been professionally polished. Those industrial molds are extremely heavy and sturdy, making them ideal for use as bookends or decorative sculptures. Measurements: 8.88 in wide (22.5 cm) by 6.69 in deep (17 cm) by 7.69 in high (19.5 cm).
