Wrought Iron Musket Ball Gang Mold
American, circa 1800 - Length: 16¼ inches 
 
A substantial wrought iron gang mold designed to cast twelve musket balls simultaneously, reflecting the practical demands of ammunition production in the early republic. Implements of this type enabled efficient large-scale casting and speak directly to the material realities of military preparation in the years surrounding the War of 1812.
 
Condition: Very good; expected wear.
