This verified industrial mold features the reverse-cast inscription “Hush Puppies Brand Shoes” inside, confirming its use in the actual manufacturing of store display figures and promotional pieces — not a reproduction or decorative recast.

Crafted in heavy bronze with beautifully aged patina, the mold captures the fine sculptural detail of the Basset’s muzzle and paws. It remains a striking piece of mid-century advertising history and industrial art.

The reverse lettering reads correctly on the finished casting, and the clarity of the brand mark makes this a rare, verifiable example directly tied to the Hush Puppies brand’s production process.

Condition:

No cracks or structural damage.
