Copperton Lane Antiques & Collectibles

Circa: 1948
Country of Origin: SE
Manufacturer: Nils Johan
A very nice matching set of three solid copper vintage kitchen food molds from Sweden with embossed Dala horses and stylized hearts and flowers. The largest measures 7-1/4 inches diameter by 1-3/4" deep, the medium size mold is 5-5/8" diameter, and the small mold is 4 by 1-1/4 inches deep. All are lined in food-safe zinc or nickel. They have brass hangers at the tops and are marked "Nils Johan, Akta Koppar Sweden" inside a cartouche with knight's head and the alchemical symbol for copper (circle over +). The large mold has an additional mark: Handfortent.

I haven't cleaned or polished the molds so as not to harm the patina, though it is a little spotty when viewed up close. There are no dents, dings, or scratches, just normal very minor signs of age and use. The linings are intact. I estimate them to have been made in the 1940s or 1950s at the latest.
