Unusual Old Handmade Single Lead Shot Mold transfer ware child's cup with only the most minor

with only the most minor of loss on the exterior

which is wrapped around the box and nicely tucked in at the end

I have no idea the backstory to this old handmade copper hand

Unusual Old Handmade Single Lead Shot Mold transfer ware child's cup with only the most minorThis is an unusual, handmade pine mold made to produce lead shot (musket balls?), one at a time. Relative to producing shot, much more commonly one sees antique handheld plier like molds, often producing multiples at once, quickly, which would be far more efficient in a military type situation so this seems certainly made for personal use, and while I assume for producing shot, I suppose it could have been used for a different purpose entirely (?).
