Half circular wooden pattern stamped 'Verdant'

Pattern: half circular, wooden, stamped '6 3/4 * 10 c1 Verdant; handwritten label reads 'one?' one, Y4993' 'L.P Main Bearing Brass'. Thought to have originally been used within Verdant Works, possibly to create a piece from an engine. These wooden shapes are used to create metal, usually iron, machinery pieces through a process called casting. During the 19th and early 20th century cast iron became increasingly popular due to its strength, versatility and the ability to produce pieces in large quantities at a low cost.
