Came across an original "George Hensley " # 61 , 150 gr wadcutter mold ...
as stated in the listing breakdown supplied online by the gentlemen who provided the info/history.
His name is also stamped on the handles .
listing description :
"#61 ,38 caliber , 150 gr , Plain base , two square grease grooves, no crimp groove.
Short slightly reduced parallel on nose , then blunt metplat.
Design by Captain Strohm , August 26 , 1940"

Compared to other wadcutters, this one has a very flat ,sharp edge metplat.
seems to be in decent shape.
was wondering what the value might be ?
would appreciate any input if possible ,
thank you

Depends on the number of cavities and what kind of shape the mold blocks and cavities are in. If it's just Geo. Hensley on the handles it's very early.

I'd be interested....how many cavities and what is the condition of the blocks?
