A whimsical industrial bronze foundry mold depicting a penguin with outstretched wings — believed to have been used for casting promotional or toy figures for Munsingwear, the Minneapolis-based maker of underwear and novelty advertising pieces.

Cast in solid bronze with wonderful age and patina from years of foundry use, the mold shows heat tinting, oxidation, and surface scarring consistent with its industrial history. It’s both a relic of mid-century American manufacturing and a charming sculptural accent for display.

Two photos of the finished toy are shown for reference only — they are not included with the mold.

Condition: Good vintage condition with visible surface wear, oxidation, and verdigris consistent with age and use.
