Yet another free giveaway! You hear me talking about glove molds all the time, well now I've got one up for grabs. These retail for $32+ and up on sites, and they are super cool. You will either your choice or medium or large (not much difference in them really) . The mediums are on average 14" high and a nice hunk of porcelain. The large is not much difference, though the fingers a a bit wider. Both sizes were rescued from an old factory overstock.
These type molds were made by (now defunct) General Porcelain of Trenton NJ, and is at least 25 years old. Glove molds are a great piece of American History and can be used to hold anything such as braclets, necklaces, knitted products, photos invitations, decorations, Christmas ornaments, or just sat around to look cool and industrial. Rings probably won't fit on the fingers but you can get creative on what you want to do with them. WARNING: GLOVE MOLDS ARE ADDICTING.
