Shortly after I fell ridiculously in love with my now-husband, a moldmaker and casting technician by trade, I bought him an antique glove mold (around $48) from San Francisco’s Gypsy Honeymoon. Later we picked up quite a few more at antique markets. It appears a mini-trend has occurred — a friend is purchasing many as she can find to use as centerpieces at her wedding (she’s going to tie a ribbon around the ring finger of each). And Fish’s Eddy has added reproduction glove molds to their offerings. I love how glossy they are, and I can’t deny that the colorful versions you can apparently buy in their NYC store are fab, but even starting at $99 they’re twice as expensive as the very first mold I purchased, and nearly triple what I’ve paid for subsequent finds. My advice? Get a vintage version on eBay while you still can. – Mary T.
