<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DragonflyWink, post: 1216290, member: 111&quot;]Personally, would question that firm &#039;Civil War era&#039; dating (this online museum info would suggest post-war introduction of brass molds: <a href="http://obgynmedicalantiques.com/apoth-suppository-makers-1/early-hand-pressed-brass-suppository-mould" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://obgynmedicalantiques.com/apoth-suppository-makers-1/early-hand-pressed-brass-suppository-mould" rel="nofollow">http://obgynmedicalantiques.com/apoth-suppository-makers-1/early-hand-pressed-brass-suppository-mould</a>), I know these were made well into the 20th century, in fact, fairly similar brass molds are still in production.&nbsp; Here is one very similar on eBay/UK, dated as 1901-50 and as coming from Romania: <a href="https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/123748390797" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/123748390797" rel="nofollow">https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/123748390797</a> and this one on 1st Dibs is described as 1950s Italian: <a href="https://www.1stdibs.com/furniture/decorative-objects/desk-accessories/more-desk-accessories/1950s-vintage-brass-suppository-mold-made-italy/id-f_15134431/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.1stdibs.com/furniture/decorative-objects/desk-accessories/more-desk-accessories/1950s-vintage-brass-suppository-mold-made-italy/id-f_15134431/" rel="nofollow">https://www.1stdibs.com/furniture/decorative-objects/desk-accessories/more-desk-accessories/1950s-vintage-brass-suppository-mold-made-italy/id-f_15134431/</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Medical antiques/collectibles can sell quite well, but should keep in mind that all the links given show &#039;asking&#039; prices that I&#039;d suspect are a bit optimisic - you&#039;d want to look for &#039;sold&#039; prices...</p><p><br /></p><p>~Cheryl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
