ok so i just bought a whole truck load of stuff and in it are 2 hensley and gibbs molds. both 4 cavity and both have handles. cavities look beautiful little surface rust on the outside but it cleans right off. They were stored with bullets in the cavities. So my question is i cant really find any pricing information and i want to be fair to both the buyer and seller. One has the number 50 the other a 130. I would appreciate any and all help. Also in the mix is an old saeco lube sizer. again i cant find much info. thanks in advance.

So what do you think they are worth runfiverun? I don't need to get rich but feel like its a fairly valuable mold.

There are a ton of H&G 50 4-bangers out there - the most popular 38 WC target boolit ever. And the 130 is a sweet 45 185-grainer popular for 25 yard work. Are they San Diego molds, or later? Might make a difference to a collector...

Finding H&G molds in a load of stuff like that is usually a dream come true, but unfortunately for you, as was said, the ones you found are the most popular and the wadcutter mold in particular is not as valuable. Whether the cavities are sharp is important, because if they are not the molds are almost worthless. The wadcutter mold is probably worth 50-75 dollars. The 130 is probably 80-120. Mold prices used to be higher.
