Stop! In the name of the law!

A super rare find, a large bobby policeman or constable from the early Victorian era. Standing 16cm high this 2-part mold is made from stamped steel, hand-tinned by a tinsmith. The treasure dates to the early 1900’s and was manufactured by the German firm of master mould makers Anton Reiche Dresden. Reiche was the grandfather of metalware and metalwork in his era until his factory was bombed by the Allies in WW2 battles.

Vintage antique metal with age marks on exterior and beautiful patina. Seams align; designed to be clipped or tied when filling. Condition inside is really good for age but has a couple of small spots of metal wear, not unexpected give the age.

Potentially suitable for moulding chocolate or candy for the kids (but please verify metal prior to consuming) instead of toys, or as standout vintage kitchenalia / industrial décor. Also can be sued to make candles, wax figurines, chalkware ornaments.

Sides matched #6 and align well, catalogue #13006 visible, perfect addition for home cooking and baking; decorators / house staging and serious collectors.
