Cool thread. There's alot of really neat mold photos on Bob's web site. After seeing all the companies, dates, history, etc it got me to asking myself kinda the opposite question..... why are there so few
new molds? It seems that many of the molds in use today by clay chip mfr's were tooled-up many years back. I guess they've become kinda the trademark of the companies using them, but you'd think they'ed try marketing something new once in a while to see if they can find another big seller. I'm not really sure how expensive these molds are to create... anyone have an idea? Do their molds/machines make many chips at a time? You would think so.
Here's the link to the mold page we are referring to - you gotta check it out:
