Cigar Mold

[BloodSpite]

I wonder if it is any relation to this: http://www.etsy.com/listing/67991514...mold-reichling

I did a little more digging and also found some more molds by the same company, and they look extremely similar.

My German is rusty, and some of the links I found are more Dutch than German. Short version is my data mining has pointed me to one Reichling & Eberhard Manufaktur (Manufacturing), who were around in 1867 and other various dates,with awards and gold medals awarded to the house in 1885 and 1888 for their cigars. I can't find anything before 1867 and nothing after 1888 regarding cigars, however it looks like they did Leather goods manufacturing around 1941, specializing in cigar shapes for some purpose or another. Maybe cigar cases? Given the time frame not impossible given the war was on.

Again my German is rusty but the translation comes out as :


Reichling & Eberhard
Spezialfabrik für Zigarrenwickelformen (Special factory for cigar wrap-around shapes)
Hanau, Postfach 126
