So I got some swaging tools from a house I helped clean out.
lyman molds for making the sluggs, some RCBS swaging dies, and some 1/2 jacket cups.
Any idea what these things are worth????

I was trying to find out some info on these. Looked on-line at the Lyman site. Couldn't find anything on them. i'm guessing they don't make them anymore.
These are old. box is the old style. I am the first to open them. There are 2x-22cal, 2x-45cal, and 1x-30cal.
I took the wrapper off two of them. One looked rusty, but rust was only on the outside. Wax/oil paper on another one was falling apart.

Those are adjustable core moulds for casting slugs. The slugs are then placed into the jackets before swaging. They, the slugs, can also be used as is if your wanting to swage pure Pb bullets.

The box looks old.
I'm surprised they were never opened until I did.

I paid $75 for a 4C .45 adjustable core mould about 3 years ago. $45 or so is the going rate for a 1C regular mould not adjustable so these would be worth a little more than that BUT they look like they need some TLC so $45 might be a good price.

I I think those boxes is what they were using in the 60's and 70's or there about. But I can't say for a certainty. Just an educated guess.
