Here is a rabbit that doesn't sit. It rocks! A very unusual design!
This mold is stamped 4223 and Made in Germany.
It also is stamped Laurosch Schw. Gmund and 50.
This stylized sitting rabbit has large ears and is in good condition.
It measures 6 1/4"H X 3 1/2"L X 1 3/4"W.
It was manufactured between 1929-1960.
Since it is a closed mold, it can only make a hollow piece.
It is rated B4. See below for explanation.

The rating of chocolate molds: Page 60 in “Chocolate Moulds: A History and Encyclopedia” by Judene Divone copyright 1987
Molds listed “R” are Rare: due to age, the small number produced, the use of multiple pieces, or are designs rarely found in this country.
All other molds are rated by letter and number, from A-1 to D-4. The letter A is the highest rating, D the lowest; then further defined by the number.
The ratings take into consideration the type of mold (common or unique), its age, the manufacturer (styling and detail), the subject matter order, and the number produced.

All of the molds I sell have been used in a candy making business between 1955-1985.
Signs of use are visible where the clips are put on and taken off around the sides.
Two to four clips will be included with the mold, depending on the size of the mold.
I will ship within 1-3 business days after purchase. When purchases are made by 1:00PM (EST), most times they will ship the same day. Insurance is included in the quoted shipping price on packages that weigh more than one pound. I will use USPS most of the time. The quoted price is for Priority Mail (2-3 days) USPS if it is over one pound. If it is less than one pound, I can ship First Class without insurance to save you money if the item is not fragile or valuable. The heaviest packages ship USPS Parcel Ground Select (5-9 days). I will mention that in the ad. Insurance can always be added at your request. The items are shipped from western New York. I use Etsy Calculated Shipping where Etsy will determine the price of shipping on a transaction. When multiple items are purchased in one transaction, I will charge YOU the actual cost if Etsy over calculates. If shipping costs differences are in excess of $1.00, I will gladly refund the difference. If you live within a 10 mile radius of Cheektowaga, NY, I will gladly deliver the item to you without shipping charges.
