@moxiedrinker Interesting piece, looks like the holes are spaced on 1" centers and I assume they are 1/2 holes so there might be another piece to this puzzle that is missing.

Hello, The 1/2 holes are a 1/4 of an inch.And how there could be another part is an even bigger mystery. Thanks Tom

@moxiedrinker Yes, but that's my point, to make the holes the two pieces are required for either drilling the holes unless the piece looks like it was cast that way? So lets figure that piece is used to form something about 10" with numerous "things" sticking out the side ... the "things" could be laid in the modl then the liquid poured in to it ... but for the life of me I wouldn't know what something like that would be ... just list it as Cast Iron 1/2 mold Rare and Unique and put it up on Auction starting at $ 19.95 ...
Don't laugh, every once in a while I list omething and make a mistake on it and some nice Buyer messages me about the mistake!!!!! You might get an answer quicker that way!
My gut feeling though is that it is some kind of candle mold, flat bottom and tapered top AND you only have 1/2 of the mold ...

It appears to be half of a mold.

Thanks, I'm thinking the same thing ... maybe an old candle mold ... maybe they plugged all but one hole along the side for the wick and with an insert could change the length candle they made ... just a little early American thinking here ...

You have to hear this! I sent a photo to an antque dealer friend . Her answer Single slice of bacon Fryer,With special spout! LOL!

Just a thought. You could scoop something out of a barrel (let's say oats), then put the pointy end into the container you want the oats to go in.

Oh, so its not several hundred years old for candle making like we all thought? Too bad ... sorry you don't have the grill that goes along with it, huh?!?

Thank you for adding to the mix! An antque dealer said that he had a very old cast iron grill that had that drip catcher as part of it. But he had no picture of it. Wished he had one . Best Tom
