<p>[QUOTE="Brenda Anna, post: 149915, member: 1778"]Please excuse my odd terms in this post...I know absolutely nothing about these critters. I found this cigar mold in my mom's basement. The pieces don't seem to fit together properly. The peg on the end seems well suited to the hole on the opposite side, but I can't get them to nest any closer than in the photos. They also are not the same length, though the individual molds seem to line up well when the end peg is placed in the opposite hole. So I'm thinking I either need to let the wood dry a bit, having been stored in the basement, which can get humid, or I have the pieces to two different molds. One piece is labeled Peters Mfg USA. The other has 2 stamps: 1 Durex 27 51400, and Xmark 24 1914. What do you think?</p><p>[GALLERY=media, 860]cigar mold 1 by Brenda Anna posted May 30, 2016 at 6:29 PM[/GALLERY][GALLERY=media, 861]cigar mold 2 by Brenda Anna posted May 30, 2016 at 6:29 PM[/GALLERY][GALLERY=media, 862]cigar mold 3 by Brenda Anna posted May 30, 2016 at 6:29 PM[/GALLERY][GALLERY=media, 863]cigar mold 4 by Brenda Anna posted May 30, 2016 at 6:29 PM[/GALLERY][GALLERY=media, 864]cigar mold 5 by Brenda Anna posted May 30, 2016 at 6:29 PM[/GALLERY][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
