Antique Chocolate Molds

I am the proud new owner of an amazing chocolate mold collection.

Also in the mold collection is an antique display case made
by Buffalo Store Fixture Co.

Eugene Hahn came to the U.S. from Germany in 1923 and imported metal chocolate molds. Offshoots of the family were chocolate and candy makers and had Buffalo area confectionery business called Lang's and Beryl's.

Shown here is a display case showing some lovely wax "chocolate" pieces made using Hahn molds. More to come!
