Mould Identification

Post by Bella88 »

Hello,

Have this mould though cannot seem to find the manufacturer, think it is perhaps a discontinued Arqadia.....if someone could tell me or let me know where I could find it I would be extremely grateful!

Many thanks!
Bella

Simons 3000/0009 looks very similar. Also GAL/0008.

That's if they aren't disco'd. :(

Thank you very much prospero! Yep seems the 3000/0009 is the one but it has been discontinued, just spoke with Simons :( but the GAL/0008 is still available, so might have to compromise for a more distressed look :)
Thanks for your help!!

Are they meant to be the slimmer and wider versions of the same style, the true representation being the slimmer one? Sorry if i have misunderstood. They look completely different if they are meant to be the same style haha :)

The finish is identical in real life, like I say, the photo of the larger profile, which is what you want, isn't very good.
