And I've always wondered how you could use them as an ice cream mold if it had vent holes?
Jerry,
You put an M&M over each vent hole when molding ice cream.
That ebay rabbit is one of the early ones that does not stand by itself. It doesn't look like it was a nickeled one which I thought was the only one like this so my knowledge has expanded with your question. I didn't know either than Santas come without without vents. I wonder how many variations there are in the three molds. There are at least three minor variations in the No.866 lamb.
Well, I wondered if my old eyes was deceiving me.... And I've always wondered how you could use them as an ice cream mold if it had vent holes??
Jerry, you do see support feet but those are not what I was trying to describe. When the rabbit stands up to eat the dasies, he has a high spot along where his two halves separate so, it not held up by his person, his front and back will separate and fall away from each other. Look at the bottom, right photo in your ebay link. On later rabbits a rib, perpendicular to the rib running along the bottom of the rabbit was added to keep him from having his two sides fall apart when standing. Hope that explains it...it's not too clear to me what I am trying to say.
