Rabbit Mold

I know what the book says, but just wanted to get some opinions. The markings are showing it to be authentic.

Well Chuck, sadly, the repros have almost killed the rabbit market. Used to be, a real good deal on a real rabbit was under 400.00, now, from what I have seen, around half of that, and less, more toward the less side.

That's what I check also Will. Since the dirt on this one is so light, what would be the best way to clean it. I'd hate to mess up the plating now. It'a ll in real nice condition. No rust anywhere. Just looking for ideas.

Its very nice looking, but - well, I'm kind of new here ...
It looks like a two piece mold with front and back shape -  
what would this be used for - molding Chocolate bunnies for easter?

That's a good question, Heather.  It was actually designed for cakes.  There are also two-piece Santa Claus molds and lamb molds.

Making cakes was the original intent. There are Gris and other recipe books around that give you the mix intended that expands to fill the mold. But you can use pretty much any cake mix that will double in size. You fill the bottom half and bake, it expands to fill the upper half. You would often use wood skewers inside to stiffen the cake up to decorate, give it more rigidity.

Then you would decorate, and the same books that came with the mold told you what to use. Times have changed and modern methods work just fine in that regard.

I imagine you could use them for molding chocolate, but I have no experience with that.

Came in lamb, santa, and rabbit versions. Nice pieces.

As far as yours Chuck - i might just scrub it good with detergent and let it alone. Doesn't look like there is any oxidation poking through at all. Very nice. These don't really need to be seasoned IMHO. Just clean well. Spray with bakers pride or oil/butter flour coating during use.

$125.00 to $175.00 is what I am going to say they fetch these days.  We all know how the Chuck Rogers auctions can go though so you might get around $200.00??

Rabbits are CHEAP these days.    They use to bring $300 all day long.   If you want  a rabbit,  pick one up now.   Same thing with Santas,   they are cheaper than they have been in years.

Nope.   I don't have one.   I have a hard time separating with more than $50   So until I find one for that amount or under,   I won't have one. ;D   I am just too cheap.

Thank you to all. This is my first mold. I think I'll hang onto it. Atually, it's the first one I've seen in person. Not to many around here, and this is in great shape except a little bit of brown on it. I'll see if I can get it off by hand. Would the coating survive the electro?

So I seasoned a rabbit but have not seasoned my lamb ... should I be seasoning it? :-?

I would if it's black iron. Mine is plated. I just want to shine it up a little.
