Hi All.
I just got a pair of mould handles from eBay, and when I bought them I thought they were the same size as the Lyman old style handles, but when I got them, while they do resemble Lyman handles, they're a bit bigger, and made from either brass, or bronze. With a small amount of filing (not the thickness!) I was able to mount RCBS 2 cavity moulds onto them. Lyman 2 cavity moulds fit right on. Can anyone tell me who made/makes these handles? I really like them, as even tho they're larger than the Lyman 8" handles, they're considerably smaller than RCBS, or SAECO handles, and I find that even tho smaller handles keep your hands closer to hot parts, that they make it much easier to handle the moulds.
