Up for sale/sale is a genuine piece of "behind the scenes" McDonald’s history. This is a heavy-duty, cast aluminum thermoforming mold used in the production of vintage McDonald’s salad container lids (likely for the iconic Garden Salad or McSalad Shaker era).
Key Features:
• Authentic Branding: Features the iconic "Golden Arches" logo cast directly into the mold, which would have been embossed onto every plastic lid produced.
• Industrial Grade: Solid aluminum construction with original industrial markings and part numbers (10-08848-D1).
• Display Quality: While this is a retired industrial tool, it has a fantastic "found object" aesthetic. It’s a heavy, tactile piece of corporate Americana that looks great on a desk or shelf.
• Condition: Excellent vintage condition with natural oxidation and "patina" consistent with factory use. Please see photos for exact surface details.
Measurements: 8" width with the "Lift" tab. 71/2" width without "Lift" tab. Approximately 2-7/8" height.
Weight: 6 pounds 15 ounces
This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of the McDonald’s supply chain. Perfect for the "McMemories" collector who already has every Happy Meal toy and is looking for something truly unique.
