<p>[QUOTE="antidiem, post: 2976045, member: 30"]Charlie, I believe what you have is the form to use for the wax casting of the pewter cats shown above. It was probably mold formed and not hand carved. It must be durable to have survived this long, but the type of wax used for this job of "lost wax" (cire' perdue) method doesn't melt as easily as candle wax. Someone who makes jewelry by hand may be interested to cast it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
