Holland

Holland Mold is a producer of molds based in the United States operated from 1946 to 1997.

HM produced molds for use by individual crafters and does not manufacture busts themselves. This is reflected in the great variety of painted features and colors on the busts available on the second hand nd vintage resale market.
