This is an authentic wooden cigar mold from the manufacturer Hart & Hertel in Schwetzingen, Germany. The object, marked with the number 802 and D.R.G.M., is a fascinating piece of industrial history that illustrates the artisanal production of cigars. The mold is crafted from solid wood and consists of two parts that fit together perfectly to shape the cigars. The warm brown color of the wood and the visible grain contribute to its authentic character. The clear stamps and markings, including 'Hier öffnen und schliessen' (Open and close here), attest to its functional origins and German craftsmanship. The object is in good condition befitting its age and former industrial use. The original patina and signs of use tell the story of its past in a cigar factory. This cigar mold is a unique decorative object for lovers of industrial or vintage interiors. It comes into its own beautifully as a conversation piece on a sideboard, in a bookcase, or as part of a collection of historical utensils. It features the stamp D.R.G.M. (Deutsches Reichsgebrauchsmuster), indicating a registered design in the German Empire between 1891 and 1945.
