Up for sale is a heavy, rugged vintage cast iron multi-shape ingot mold plate. This is a great find for custom gold and silver pourers, jewelry makers, and boutique foundry hobbyists looking for a unique open-pour swage tray.
This listing is for the empty cast iron tray only (no separate loose insert pieces are included). The open channels feature an assortment of unusual geometric, triangular, and wavy recessed cavities. This layout allows you to melt down scrap and pour highly unique, non-traditional artistic bullion bars or jewelry blanks all on a single block.
Item Highlights & Custom Pouring Features:
• Open Cavity Layout: Features multiple distinct casting channels, including a large curved bar, triangle-in-circle, wavy line, squares, and small circular depressions.
• Heavy Cast Iron Construction: Dense, thick-walled cast iron built to withstand the intense thermal shock of molten sterling silver (~1,763°F) and gold (~1,948°F) without warping or cracking.
• Working Foundry Patina: The plate exhibits an honest, completely uncleaned rustic patina with natural surface oxidation and interior texture from age. It is ready to be pre-heated, seasoned with a torch, and put straight to work on your refining bench.
