Antique french ball mold

Tim Crosby:
 That's neat, have you ever tried it out? Be interesting to see what you'd get. What size it?

Tanselman:
Very interesting ball mold with great color and condition. It makes me wonder how they got the molten lead all the way down to the bottom holes/molds without having it start to set up. That's a long way [and narrow track] for molten lead to travel, so I'm wondering if they warmed/heated the mold before casting??? Shelby Gallien

peter:
Shelby When you put them togheter its wide enough to pour lead in

Daniel Coats:
Looks great thanks for letting us see it! Must be quite a bit of cleanup after a pour.  Grapeshot for cannon maybe?
