Photos of cast-iron Pressed Glass mould, Inwald?

<< < (2/2)

Glen:
Cheers, Max  :D

David - yes it was! It took many months too, from the beginning of the design right through to the emergence of the finished product. I am in awe of the mould makers - I truly believe they are the un-sung heroes of pressed glass production.

I was going to look again at your mould photos, but they are currently not there. The Clayton Mayers ad is, though. To add a little re. Inwald and Jacobean..........

and if you'd like to look at what was going on in Czechoslovakia on the machinery side of things, you may find some of the pages of my Rindskopf feature of interest.

David E:
Thanks for all the links, Glen. I'll check these out!

The first link was not updated properly after I re-uploaded all the photos - all corrected apart from the thumbnails keep going AWOL :?

David E:
Very interesting article on the Carnival Jacobean range. I wasn't sure of the date, so I'll amend that on GG.

I love looking at these earlier black & white photos of factories and machinery — there must be a Fred Dibnah in me somewhere :)  One point about those photos Glen: it would be better to create a set of thumbnails rather than use the large photos as it will make the page load quicker.

The mould drawings are so interesting: I'll drop Adam a mail so he can have a look. I reckon he'll be very interested unless he's seen them already.
