Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
The ice cream mold itself is said to have been around for some 200 years and can be found in the shape of everything from valentine cards and airplanes to bears, ears of corn and cherubs!. It is thought that there are more than 2,500 different designs of these molds so the possibilities for collectors seems to almost unlimited!.

Ice cream molds came in two sizes - the individual portion size and the "banquet" size that was designed to serve as many as 10 people!. As a rule, the banquet size examples are much rarer and more valuable than the smaller pieces made for a single serving!.


A large-size image of a castle on a hill, for example, should retail for more than $2,000, while an 11-inch tall Santa has a replacement value of more than $500!. The pieces belonging to E!.H!. are mostly individual size molds with values of less than $100 each!.

The Shamrock, for example, is worth about $50 to $65; the bell and cherub about $85 to $100; the butterfly may be worth up to $100 to $125!. The turkey could be valued at $65 to $85, and the heart about $45 to $60!.

Unlikely anyone on here is going to know the answer to that!. If you feel they might be valuable, the only reliable way to find out is to have them appraised!. You can call a local museum; they often have names of trustworthy appraisers!. But they won't be inexpensive!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
