Featured Mossberg Mfg Co.

Not really sure what this is? A mould or model/form? Marked Mossberg Mfg Co. 281. Any ideas? There’s the Mossberg firearm company but there could have been another Mossberg I’m sure. Pulled it out of a barn at one of the best sales I ever attended 5+ years ago.

 

is it metal...wood... both??

it doesn't seem to fit in the block..?

 

Look like a foundry pattern to me. But I haven't figured out the product.

 

All wood. It fits fairly well and I think the numbers match.

 

That makes sense. Looks more like a tiny chair leg than anything else I can think of. I’m sure thats not it though lol.

 

I was thinking foundry mold too; I've seen a lot of old wooden ones. Before WWII that's how it was done.
