I picked up a couple black powder molds. They have aluminum handles and black anodized aluminum blocks. One is a hollow base 58 cal and says A 577 on side. The other appears to be 54 cal and says D 541 on side. Does anyone know anything about these? From looking around on the internet they appear to resemble the blocks of Thompson Center, but I have never seen any of their molds that look like this. Did they have cast aluminum handles?

the 58 cal on the bottom is an old "Shilo" mold from around 30-35 years ago. have one just like it. they make very good boolets. care for it as you would a Lee.

The handles are as well(Shiloh,I mean),and probably the wadcutter single cavity mould as well.Once I had one of those 58 caliber wadcutter Minies,pretty well drains a:coffee: pot fast!

Yep, Shiloh.
I have a .45 Maxi-Ball mould with identical handles.
