21 pounds. It measures 30 by 9 1/4 by 2 1/2 inches. Properly called a pitch mold. Pitch molds became popular during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

block or frame. It was then turned over and squeezed down onto an oiled wooden pattern. They make a
great wall hanging or a backdrop for a shelf.
