Charlotte Molds

Once upon a time I had a tin lined Charlotte mold.  Back in the '70's when I was enamored of Irma Rombauer* and tended to make Charlottes.  My Charlotte mold is mentioned here:

I say "had" because I think I threw it out along with the Mouli graters and other corroded cookware.  If it is here I can't find it.  Anyhow, today I perused a recipe that calls out for a Charlotte mold, and spent the afternoon and evening searching the internet for same -- stainless or stainless lined this time, if you please.

 

It seems most molds are too big or too small.  De Buyer makes a range of sizes but I can't find a US source.  Around 14 cm to 16cm was what I had in mind.  Closest I've found is an 18cm Mauviel from WS** and hence expensive.  The nearest size Matfer Bourgeat offers is 20cm, which is too big.

 

Thoughts or suggestions?

**The US Mauviel site does not mention Charlotte molds and I cannot find a French website for Mauviel.  Plus I don't speak French.

Odd, I thought I replied to this?  It may be the heat or the rum.

 

I don't do eBay but when I looked around I did not see anything of interest.
