Casting Pattern, Langley

Object Details

Physical Description
This object appears as a single unit. It has a flat, squared base a 1.5" high, 2 1/8" wid, rounded center piece. A single hole traverses the center. However, the center piece can be removed. The bottom of the removable center piece and the top of the base on which it stands has not been painted brown with wood finish. There is no evidence that these two peices were glued. Further, the base piece, when turned over, reveals writing which seems to state: "2 of this".
