These two metal chocolate molds depict playful childhood subjects: a child riding a sled and a girl pushing a scooter. Each opens into paired halves, with recessed interior detail that formed the figure's clothing, face, and vehicle in chocolate. The scooter girl's bobbed hair, short dress, and bent leg give the design a lively sense of motion, while the sled mold has crisp runners and bundled winter clothing. The mid-20th-century sled mold is Letang Fils pattern 4652, a design documented by the Musée du Moule à Chocolat as in use from 1934 to 1965. Its oval stamp gives the firm's Paris address, 108 Rue Vieille du Temple. The scooter mold is numbered 48 and retains its fastening clips. The clips secure the corresponding halves during molding. The surfaces have age-related darkening and areas of finish wear. The larger measures approximately 5" x 2" x 5.5" tall.
