This heavy two-piece iron mold was one of the molds used by The Worthington Ball Company to make the "Wiffie Cox" mesh ball offered in 1916.  Locating a mint Wiffie Cox ball would be a great find.  Locating the mold that made the ball would be even better but much harder to do. There were often thousands of balls made by a single mold which is why collectors encounter far more balls than molds. 

(The celluloid tees shown in one or more of the images is not part of this lot. It is used to help show size.)
