Point of interest:
Until the 1970's all of our molds were made of the Zinc Alloy "Zymac".   Most of these metal molds contained 3 figure cavities.  The steel tooling necessary to make these molds was completed from 1930-1955.  Tooling costs during that period were very low (only several hundred dollars).

During the 1970's silicone rubber molds were developed.  These rubber molds could accept metal pouring temperatures similar to the Zinc alloy molds, but certain very important advantages were obtainable.  The rubber molds could reproduce finer detail, allow for slight undercuts because of their flexibility, and were easier to pour successfully.

The disadvantage was that the tooling costs for a single cavity mold increased to over $2000.  This cost increase was not due solely to the change in the mold type, but primarily material and toolmaker wage costs of the 70's till now, far exceeded those of the 30's, 40's, and 50's.

This information has been presented so our customers can understand why a 3 figure cavity metal mold is less costly than the single cavity rubber mold.
