This delightful ‘Man in a Top Hat’ ice cream mould dates from the late 1800’s . He was created by Schall and Co. of New York City. His mould number is 384. You can shape clay or cast plaster, but it may contain lead, so it’ wouldn’t be considered safe for food.
Ice cream moulding began in France with Cadot around 1832, became popular in the U.S. in the 1870s, and in 1897 Alfred Cralle received a U.S. patent for an ice cream mould. The variety of moulds reflects the era and popular foods of the time.
The hinge is in excellent condition. Dimensions: 3.5 w including hinge x 4” high
