Description
These copper-anodized aluminum individual dessert molds are the crown jewels of the lot, featuring embossed decorative bottoms in six distinct designs including a pineapple, grape cluster, sunburst, four-leaf clover, acorn with wheat, and apple. Each mold sports a fluted scalloped exterior wall and a warm copper finish that would look equally stunning on a kitchen wall or filled with a wiggly retro gelatin salad. There appear to be approximately 20 or more in this group, with multiple duplicates of certain designs.
The vintage Jell-O branded aluminum molds are the stars that collectors actually search for, each bearing a raised circular medallion on the bottom that reads JELL-O in bold block letters. These scalloped, melon-ribbed individual molds are made from cast aluminum and display a beautifully aged pewter-toned patina consistent with mid-century American kitchenware. Approximately 8-10 are present in this group, making this a fantastic find for Jell-O memorabilia enthusiasts and vintage kitchen collectors alike.
The plain silver-tone aluminum ring molds with center tube are simple workhorses of the mid-century dessert world, designed for individual molded salads, aspics, or ice cream presentations. Two sizes appear to be present, a smaller single-serve ring and a larger version, with roughly 15 or more of the larger size stacked together. Clean lines, no frills, all function.
A fourth group of plain-bottom scalloped aluminum molds without branding rounds out the lot, featuring the same fluted side walls as the Jell-O molds but with unembossed smooth interiors. These are perfect for everyday use or as a complement to the branded pieces in a display collection. Approximately 8-10 are present in this cluster.
