Question

Austrian Medallion Mol
I was left with tons of tin and plastic candle molds that I am trying to get rid off.  I don't know anything about them so if anyone could give me some idea that would be great.  A majority of them appear to be from the 1970's from GS-Craft.  Most of them are cylindrical.  Some of them are plastic 3D breakaway molds.  They retailed at that time between $5.00-$15.00.  I can't seem to find anything online about them so if anyone knows please let me know...thanks in advance!

Answer
Hello,

I wasn't able to find any specific information on these molds.  However, I know there are plenty of candle makers out there always scouting for good deals.  I would suggest if you want to make a couple of bucks, try putting them on Ebay.  I don't think you'll become rich, but you may make some money on them. Just take into account when selling on Ebay the fees that are involved with them.  If you don't want to try that, Craigslist may be an option for you as well.  Hope that helps!  Good Luck!
