I found this on the Vintage Metal Molds Facebook group , it shows the inventor of the Schneider mold system in the process of casting, his wife assisting and their two boys playing a game using the castings. It's obviously an advertising photo for their catalogue. The boys seem to be using cannon with an air-bulb attachment to propel the shot - there's a pretty good chance of putting someone's eye at that range !

I like Herr Schneiders PPE fir handling molten metal, and do you think they have done a risk assessment on the air-bulb situation ..??!
ReplyDeleteYes multiple accidents waiting to happen .
DeleteAnother excellent find Tony! I've enjoyed Schneider figures for years and now I can put a face and family to them! Those "air guns" are brilliant!
ReplyDeleteYes those air-cannons are very interesting.
