Picked this old Ideal mold recently. I believe it was made before the late 1920s but someone here probably knows this stuff better. The mold is in workable condition and casts .460-.461" boolits which weigh about 403 grains when made from wheelweight alloy. On the right cavity half there are some scratches which cause visual defects to end product but other than that the boolits seem usable. The wooden handles have several cracks as well. I don't know if they are original but they are pinned in place. Material looks like beech to me.
