Hensley & Gibbs Mold Website Update

[Texasflyboy]

Had a chance to do some number crunching over the weekend, the result is posted on the Hensley & Gibbs reference website.

Here's a partial preview of the info for those interested:

I'm pleased to see so many H&G molds out there moving around, getting used.

Click the link for the info, there is a section entitled "eBay Auction Activity" that contains the new updated information.

Flyboy, I have about 18 or 20 H & G moulds mostly 8 and 10 cavity. Several are custom matched pairs. I think the only one I have that you don't have a picture of is the #355 of which I have a custom matched pair. I was the person that ordered these from Wayne first. Sometime in the not to distant future I will try to e-mail you a picture.

I noticed that you recently added a picture of the #332. I have an 8 cavity x332 if you would like I could send a picture of it also. I think that is all I have that you don't. By the way you have a very nice web site.

At one time I had 38 or 40 H & G moulds most of which were 8 and 10 cavity moulds. But a divorce separted me from 1/2 of them. Sure wish I had them back but not the woman HEE HEE!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, Tom the moulds were made for me at that time I was operating a bullet casting business and ordered several moulds from Wayne. It was always a pleasure doing business with H & G. I used to really enjoy phone conversations with Wayne. The amount of information he could give a person was incredible. There were some other bullet designs that I had a small part in but I guess thats for a later time. I will see if I can figure out how to e-mail the photos to you.
