Anyone have any idea what kind of mold that these handles were supposed to be for? They fit about the same width as the old Lyman single cavity molds, but the tongs are way too thin. They are only .241-.242 thick. And the holes appear to be a bit bigger than on Lymans as well. Otherwise, they seem like a decent little set of handles, they are only about 7-3/4" long. Thanks, Billy

Look like single cavity Lymans to me , maybe some one milled a bit off ???

What makes me think so is the rivet.

Nope, not Lymans. Here they are next to a set of old Lyman handles. Lyman handles always lookd cast, the metal on these look more like RCBS handles that are formed steel.

Not sure but I kind of think maybe they were for some of the older T/C moulds.

I have an older set of Lee handles that look pretty close to that.
Don't know how old, 25-30 years.
The blocks were attached with screws, not pins.
