Can you imagine making flowers and leaves one piece at a time? That's what this tool did, made leaves for artificial flowers.

This mold was purchased from a New York company that was in business in the forties and fifties.

Prices and values of these flower mold pieces can range from around $50 - up to $175. for the ones that are more intricate and in the best shape.

This measures 7 - 8" and was offered for sale at the Tinsel Trading Company in New York City.
