Click On Images To Enlarge.
Years ago, I was lucky to come across an original mold set from the mid 1800s. This is an image of the molds along with a rooster that was produced from it about 1860. I am proud to continue to produce this piece of Americana. The only update is that I use my own arrow design.
Blanks are cut from 100% 16oz. Revere copper then clamped to the mold. The copper is stretched into the mold by pounding it down with special mallets.
