Scope and Contents

Mother mold used to make a sugar cone out of wax for an exhibit, possibly between the 1910s and the 1970s.

A mother mold has two parts: a rubber layer and a plaster layer. The rubber layer holds the detail and shape of the original specimen, while the plaster layer supports the rubber layer to avoid or minimize the distortion of the rubber.
