You've got a selection of some of the finest molds ever made in very popular calibers.

Cramer and H&G were very much top of the line when they were in business. Magma now sells the H&G line I not sure who bought Cramer, think it was RCBS?

You've done very well!

I thought Cramer became Saeco,(RCBS bought Lachmiller), and I thought Ballisticast was selling had the H&G line, although not exactly the same. Cramer designed those multi cavity hollowpoint molds I believe. Is that #16 a hollowbase wadcutter or just a standard one? Some nice molds.

[HeavyMetal]

Might be on both way before my time!

RCBS bought Cramer. You stole it if you paid less than $500. Lucky guy.

Some of the guys here just may beat you up for some of those molds![smilie=s:

Years ago I had a Saeco-Cramer 44 mould that was a 3 cavity. I believe it was a number 7This makes me think that Cramer may have been absorbed by Saeco. IIRC, Saeco is an acronym for Santa Anita Engineering Co. from the days when they were in California.

According to Glen Fryxell, Saeco bought out Cramer in 1951. RCBS acquired Lachmiller and Ohaus sometime in the 70's.

Wish I could see a better picture of those Cramer molds.

OK, which board member did you mug to get all those??:kidding:

[stevenjay1]

I'll get some pictures posted in the next few days. Also, thanks for the information and compliments. BTW, I DID NOT MUG ANYONE....HONEST!

OK tell how much you paid for those, so we can really be upset.

I've never seen a bullet mold at a garage sale in my life. Where the hell do you live? I think I need to visit!

Sorry, I don't kiss and tell!
