The handles that look like RCBS, unmarked and painted black, were made by Ohaus.
Just like Ohaus molds, they were sold in black themed packaging.

After they bought Ohaus, RCBS began producing...

We call the local fun store chain around here "the fin" and I stopped in Friday.....

I have made several orders with them in the last three years,

Older SAECO molds had the number stamped on the sprue plate, not the blocks.
More recent REDDING/SAECO molds are stamped on the blocks as such, including the mold number.

So if the "050" is on...

Just out of curiosity I searched on "United American Metals"
They have a logo similar to the one on yours, a side facing Indian in a war bonnet.

Looks like they mostly made babbitt, were...

I think the Lyman, RCBS and SAECO molds are made of ductile cast iron, not steel. They are soft.
Some old Carpenteria SAECO molds used a type of cast iron called Meehanite that contained copper,...

There are two different Lyman designs marked 358477....make sure you are looking at the good, vintage one.

Having been burned a couple of times, I try to be very cautious on eBay.

Just looking at the seller's name would be enough for me to not buy from him.

What kind of person would do business...

Is it an early example with a rounded sprue plate screw and thinner, polished sprue plate?
