Does anyone have any history of SAECO moulds and/or the company (Santa Anita Engineering COmpany?) ?
Many years ago (probably 20 or more) I bought two 45 cal moulds from one Paul Fitz Jones, who he represented himself to be elderly and was the West Coast Distributor of Star Reloading products. He was dying of cancer and was clearing out everything he owned.
These moulds were supposedly among many that a special run was made for just him by SAECO, with meehanite alloy steel blocks and special rosewood handles. They are quite nice, and I have only tested one of them. They are the 230gr bb GI Ball profile and a H&G #68 bb copy.
These 4 cavity moulds are pretty hefty and they are clearly very high quality moulds. I have the original red and white boxes (marked Carpinteria CA with the original SAECO logo) and the original wrapping.
I would like to get some data on the ORIGINAL SAECO Company if anyone has it.
I can't find out much with Google
Thanks!
