I recently got a box of bits and pieces of casting equipment and metal molds , a treasure trove !
, I've no idea who they are by, the molds are metal with wooden handles , amongst the files clamps etc were a number of castings that had been cast from the molds . They seem to be WW1 ish , 40mm semi-flats a French infantryman and two Germanic (?) infantry figures - one with a couple of grenades .
The other one is a mounted ACW General (?) seems about 54mm and semi-flat . There were 6 castings in the box from this mold .
There is also a small curious mold - seems to be about 25mm and seems to be a Lancer (?) . Does anybody know anything about them ? . When I get some more cast they will be appearing on the tabletop in the ranks of my Imagination armies .
Great moulds. Schneider is the company who made them.
