These look interesting. Anyone (Red) know how they are used? Are these molds used to make the actual bottle molds?
Thanks for looking.......Ron

My understanding of wood molds is they were soaked in water until they were totally saturated, then the bottle was blown in the wood mold. When I first started collecting we used to think that nice hammered whittle effect was from newly carved wooden molds. Anyway hope that helps. John

[8D] I dont think bottles were ever blown into wood molds. the wood pieces on e-bay are I believe, cores for sand casting bottle molds out of metal, brass, bronze, cast iron etc etc etc, not the molds themselves...........

Actually these are just patterns for what the bottles should look like and are only the first step in making a mold.
