Quick take
Before you buy, name the job. One product here makes a silver bar. Two are vintage wood foundry patterns that now work best as decor. The fourth is a full vacuum casting and melting machine for jewelry and precious metals. Listed prices in this group range from USD 26.95 to USD 405.16, so the choice depends less on price alone and more on whether you plan to pour metal, display history, or run a jewelry casting setup.

What to decide first
Start with the end result. If you want a finished silver bar, the ingot mold is the only item here that forms that shape. If you want foundry decor, both wood patterns have the carved, shop-worn look of original sand casting patterns, but they differ in scale and footprint, so measure your space before choosing. If you want to melt metal under vacuum, the cast vacuum machine is the only powered casting device in the mix and should be treated as a workstation addition rather than a handheld tool.
Product notes
Graphite Ingot Mold for Casting 1 oz Silver Bar
This is the only pure mold in the group. The graphite block is shaped for casting a single 1 oz silver bar, and the mold is listed as new and made in the US. It is a mold only, not a crucible, so you would still need to melt the silver first and pour it into the cavity. If you plan to cast gold, copper, or other metals, you need to calculate the capacity yourself. That makes it a direct choice for hobbyists or anyone working with 1 oz silver bars, but not a general-purpose casting setup.
11x19 Antique Industrial Wood Foundry Pattern Vintage Sand Casting Part Mold Art
This is a large foundry pattern at about 11 1/4 inches wide and 19 3/4 inches tall, a bit over 5 inches deep, and weighing 13 pounds. It is a vintage piece with wear and staining but a solid body, and it works more as a display object than a working mold. The opening in the center could hold a small vase or another accent if you use it as decor. The main limitation is size and weight: it needs table or shelf space, and its patina shows visible age. Choose this one when you want a statement foundry artifact rather than a compact shelf piece.
Vintage Scovill Wood Foundry Pattern Brown Industrial Casting Mold Decor Tool
This used wooden foundry pattern carries the Scovill mark on one side and has hand-painted black markings, three brass locating pins underneath, and an asymmetrical stepped-arm shape with circular bosses. Surface wear, scratches, edge dings, and discoloration are visible, so it is clearly not a pristine casting tool. It is a decor piece with industrial character, easy to set on a shelf or workbench. If you want the foundry look without the larger antique pattern, this is the more compact choice. The Scovill stamp and layout marks add a mechanical story that a plain block of wood would lack.
2L Cast Vacuum Machine 1/2HP Jewelry Silver Precious Metal Melting Casting Tool
This is the powered option. It is listed as New, with a 2L capacity, 1/2 HP, and 3 CFM, and it is built from cast iron, graphite, plexiglass, and ceramic. Assembly is required, and the machine weighs about 21 kg/46.3 lbs, so it needs a solid workspace. Its intended use is melting and casting silver and other precious metals for jewelry work, which makes it a very different category from the molds and patterns above. The trade-off is the assembly and the physical size. For someone ready to set up a vacuum casting machine, this is the only fully powered melting/casting tool in the group.
Final recommendation by use case
If you want to cast silver bars, the ingot mold is the direct tool for that job. If you are furnishing a space with foundry history and want a compact decorative piece, the compact foundry pattern gives you the patina and markings without dominating the room. If you want a large, antique centerpiece with real presence, the antique industrial pattern is the display item. For jewelry work or precious-metal casting, the cast vacuum machine is the functional option, provided you have space for it and are willing to handle assembly.
