A group of about 33 brass foundry moulding tools is on the UK eBay site, with these pictures. Brass foundry tools are rare in the US.

This group of molder's tools came from the USA, but are unmarked. Brass foundry tools are cast, and steel tools are forged. The brass spoons show the imprint of the sand mold inside the bowl.

I also have a set of tools like this that were used by my great grandfather casting brass in Sweden in the late 1800's.They have been passed down in my family for years and now my father has passed away, I have them. To most people they probably are not worth much but to my family they are priceless.
ReplyDeleteI have a large number of brass/bronze foundry casting tools similar to the ebay auction above, with many marked Bullen & Co, of which I can't find any details of apart from a short mention of the company being wound up. Does anyone here have any knowledge of them?
