Cigar molds, while not uncommon, are a great novelty, curio and conversation piece for the enthusiast, collector and aficionado, and should be enjoyed for what they are, which is a great cigar room decoration.
Verifying the authenticity of such a consumable item as these molds are would be very difficult, as molds such as these would be produced by the factories as needed in large quantities, as even the smallest factory would have a few hundred molds, larger factories could easily have thousands, with, for the most part, all of them in service, and all were expected to wear out at some point.
This particular specimen looks to be in unbelievably good condition for what should be a used cigar mold. I see no signs of the typical wear, discoloration from tobacco or scraping on the top and edges that would occur during the normal rapid use of these molds on a daily basis. And they do get beat up. The condition of this mold should make it a great addition and conversation piece to a cigar room.
