Those are AC Gilbert molds, Gilbert of Erector Set fame. I can't remember right now the name under which they sold their casting set, but I can check my copy of O'Brien's "Collecting Toy Soldiers" when I get home later this afternoon. It might have been "Kast-A-Toy".
There were other molds in the set, including a mounted figure, a ship, and I think, an airplane. The molds are all the same size, square, and they fit into the rig that came in the kit.
Hope that helps, prosit!

Hi, doesn't look like anyone else has more info, but in the meantime, I checked in O'Brien and confirmed my earlier post, though I have a clarification. AC Gilbert molds were sold as AC Gilbert, and Kast-A-Toy was the brand of casting molds sold be Porter Chemical Co., Hagerstown MD (O'Brien, p. 609).
Prost!
