Cramer Mold

[skeet028]

Don't know if this is the right place but..I recently bought an old Cramer mold. Aren't they all old??. Just a 2 cavity but it is surely a neat mold. On the sprue plate it is marked Number 35 and Number 11 HP. the 35 is a small wadcutter boolit of about 100 grains and the other is somewhat like a Lyman 358 156 Hollowpoint. Does anyone here know more about Cramer molds? Have any particulars on the value? In really nice condition but I'll probably not use it. Just a neat collectible. I just had to rescue it and a few others.

The #11 is a 160gr "keith" hp swc bullet, cramer's version of the lyman 358429 in hp.

I have/use a couple cramer hp's for the 38spl/357's. This 25a (rn hp) is a 158gr hp that has shot extremely well in any 38spl or 357 I've tried it in.

The 25a is a typical double cavity cramer with hp pins.

I also have a #26 cramer, it's another "keith" hp, it's a 158gr hp.

Your #11 should be like the bullet on the right.

As far as value, I have several hp and hb cramer molds. As with anything they are worth what someone's willing to pay for them. Myself I've never paid over $100 for any of the pinned cramers that I own & that included the handles.

Anyway, nice find.
