Mayhaw,

The old 1939 Cramer catalog just says, "358M--158Magnum". My guess by the way it looks, it's a Keith type meant for 357Magnum. Certainly OK for .38 Special too.How many do you want to buy? They list them at $6.00@ for 2 cavity, & $7.50 for 3 cavity...add 3% sales tax too if you live in Kalifornia....geo

Mayhaw2:

Go to the "CASTPICS" link at the bottom of the page and search "Research and Data" for the "Cramer Catalog". It has photos of all of the old Cramer moulds.

Next to a Walt Melander NEI or H+G, I think Cramer makes about the nicest production moulds. Surely as good as a LBT, although not so hi-tech, better than the RCBS that followed them. Of course if I end up with a dog someday I'll have to eat my words.

I agree with Tpr. Bret about the quality of Cramer moulds. I own several and each one is a delight to use.

The Cramer #4 is one of my very favorite moulds of any origin. :) :)

Quite right! My mistake. Ohaus became RCBS. I stand corrected.

and Lachmiller became RCBS,,Ohaus owns RCBS as a subdivision me thinks,

[Bret4207]

I thought Omark owned RCBS? Ohaus makes scales still today.

Closer this time,Tpr.Bret: Rcbs WAS part of Omark,then some miniConglomerate,then went with all the Gun related stuff to the current outfit,who as far as I know,has only sold off the var.Scope brands so far(to the Meade people)..Ohaus not a part of any of these,but did sell mould business to Omark,years ago..Not sure whether Lachmiller went to Ohaus first,or direct to Omark...

GLL (and any others with Cramer moulds):

Do you have any "gang" Cramer moulds? If so, how are the handles on them?

I have a couple and am losing the handles (the wood part) on both.

Looking for suggestions on "easy" replacements without trashing the mould.

Thanks.

[Bret4207]

I don't care who owned whom anymore! I'll buy any mould I can find.

GSM:

Sorry but all of my Cramer moulds are 2 or 3 cavity variety.

Perhaps someone with a woodworking lathe could turn you some matching handles. I frequently turn replacements for my own damaged handles.
