Lyman pot age?

Anyone have any idea how old this model of Lyman's melting pot is? As you see, it is a 20lb pot.

thanks

I started casting back in the early 70's with a Lyman pot similar to that. Mine has an adjustible mold rest that clamps to the legs. So, it is still going strong at about 40 years.

I've got one I bought used on Ebay, works fine.

I should have included, this pot was unused and cost $55.00.

Major Tom, I too had the same pot as you back in '77 to '79 (sometime) with a mold guide. But I did not know when Lyman discontinued this style or how much the things cost. The guy at the gun show started with a price just over $200.00, I made him a deal he could not refuse, and he took it. The gun show was ending, and I was leaving, and he needed to get rid of stuff.
