- Lot Description
Nathaniel Dominy IV Shot Mold, East Hampton, Long Island, New York, 1779, the hinged brass mold with thirty-four cavities made to cast three sizes of buckshot, the exterior of the mold with deeply molded inscription "NDominy 1779," with carved hardwood handles, lg. 10 in.
Literature: This particular mold is illustrated and described in George C. Neumann and Frank J. Kravic, Collector's Illustrated Encyclopedia of the American Revolution, (Harrisburg: Stackpole Books, 1975), p. 193.
Note: Nathaniel Dominy IV (1737-1812) was part of a family of skilled carpenters and clock makers from East Hampton, Long Island. As part of his clock making business, Nathaniel had the means to cast small brass items including shot molds. This is example is the more expensive of two types of molds known to have been made by Dominy which he sold for 1 Pound, 4 Shillings each (Charles F. Hummel, With Hammer in Hand: The Dominy Craftsmen of East Hampton, New York, (Charlottesville: University Press of Virginia, 1968), p. 230). The original Dominy workshop with an extensive collection of its tools, patterns, and records was acquired by the Henry du Pont Winterthur Museum in 1957 and has been reconstructed by the museum. Hummel's book illustrates other examples of Dominy's molds and is an indispensable catalog of the Dominy collection and family history.Condition
