Of course with the advent of mechanisation, cement and concrete use of moulds like these has almost ceased. However, small-scale rural enterprises can still be found making bricks in parts of Africa and India. If using as planters we would advise drilling 2-3 drainage holes in the bottom. If you would like us to drill the holes for you please make a request in the 'customer comments field when checking out.

Our vintage brick moulds are not new or made to look old. They will small marks and scratches, there may also be rough edges, bent nails and iron banding protruding from the base or sides of the mould. There may also be historic splits to the wood. These are consistent with their age and original use. We feel these add to their character and appeal.
