Here is another of the things passed on to me by a friend who inherited a box of reloading stuff from a guy who died about 45 years ago.
It's a box of Winchester C.B. Wads. shows as .38/55 in...

I've got about 5 or 6 of these from Frankfort Arsenal as well. Dated in the 1890s to early 'aughts. I think they are mostly 6-ball molds. All in nice condition. Any idea what these may be worth? ...
If I can prevail on you guys again, have any of you seen a bullet shaped like this mold? It appears to be .54 caliber if I am measuring correctly. I have not seen a bullet this "pointy" before. ...
Whoops - actually patent date is 1871. I guess I fat-fingered it.
This came out of a collection of really old pre-Civil War to about 1905 bullet molds, so am thinking this is not a reproduction. It was in a box full of Colt Patent double cavity molds.
Thanks so much. The area at the bottom is shaped to fit a bullet. It looks like they are the .45 cal.
Leadman - it looks like that would work, although it would be sort of a "point" pushing on the primer - doesn't seem safe.
I am wondering if you guys could help me identify this mold/tool I have. It is a brass mold - it appears to be .44 or .45 caliber. However, it has a little lever on the back with a "catch" on it...

All - I am barely conversant about bullet molds and have gradually been selling molds for a friend of mine who knows less than me. That said, I ran across a bullet mold that have very strangely...
Frankly, I'd rather make them available to people who would use and enjoy them. I don't have to get top dollar.
Here is another post showing some Ideal molds. Some of these are marked Middlefield USA and others are marked New Haven CT USA. I really don't know anything about these, especially the codes that...
Here is the second post. These are some additional molds, that I would be interested in the value/history if anyone has any insight. Many thanks.
These molds are unmarked, other that the 4 on...
Yes. But I am trying to figure out what they may be worth so I can set my expectations and determine reasonable prices. Also, I am just interested in the items...to know if they are of use today....
Hi all. I am a new member of the forum. A friend of mine passed on a whole bunch of bullet molds to me to try and find out if there is any interest/value in them. This is the first, of what I...
