Description

This industrial, wooden foundry pattern was designed and manufactured by Sun Shipbuilding & Drydock Company in Pennsylvania. The mold measures 41.5" tall x 35" wide. The body of the mold is the inverse of a knurled barrel shape. The piece is framed and sturdy, with hand painted markings showing the manufacturer, part name and other processing details.

At 41.5 inches tall, this is the perfect height to repurpose as an authentic industrial shelf or wine rack. The solid wood body and hand painted detail make it a unique, stand-alone art piece that celebrates the American industrial machine age.

History: Sun Shipbuilding & Drydock Company was a major shipbuilding company in operation from 1917–1989 in Chester, Pennsylvania on the Delaware River. Sun Shipbuilding launched its first ship in 1917.

In 2017, this foundry pattern was salvaged from a nautical warehouse in New Jersey. The pick was featured in Season 9, Episode 8 of the DIY Network show, "Salvage Dawgs".

Condition: Very good condition. Solid body with surface scuffs, paint loss, fading and patina as expected with age and use.
