A tall clown chocolate mold by Letang Fils of France depicts a smiling figure in a pointed cap, broad collar, and oversized bow. He holds out the sides of his loose costume, spreading the fabric into deep folds above his shoes. The separate front and back halves reproduce the figure in the round, with modeled facial features and clothing details. The clown bears Letang's oval maker's stamp, introduced in the early 1930s. The smaller De Lille Brugge mold from Belgium takes the form of a bell, with leafy branches framing a blank crest-shaped panel. It is numbered 4242. A long metal fastening bar accompanies the two molds, which show surface wear and areas of oxidation. The clown measures approximately 5.5" x 2" x 11" tall.
