The reason it does not show a club is because a golf club is very thin and would not last out of the mold. Would be too brittle. The person making the mold would usually add a small wooden club.Also, your mold is not a chocolate mold but rather an ice cream mold. Chocolate molds are generally very thin and made of tin while the mold you have is actually quite heavy comparatively and made of pewter. Are there any markings on the mold like 463

I wish I remember what book my dad found the mold in but it is indeed a golfer. Has decent value though if I remember correctly

Heres a link to the same mold that sold in 2006
Thanks for the info. That all makes sense and yes it is marked 463.
Thanks again,
Michael
