This would make a great sticky!
I actually searched for this topic when i first started buying used molds.
it's in there, there is a lot of linked stuff like this in that sticky thread.
I am compiling stuff that will help there, the thread itself wanders around a bit with tips and a lube discussion.
and then on page 5 the links to stuff like this start.
very worthy of a sticky! nice work!
Wouldn't be complete without a set of Cabine Tree handles.

Dale53---you answered my question before I even asked it--
I got me a pair of short handle Scovill, never seen that before.

They was on a Lyman mould when i got them.
Anyone know what the EE is about?
These Scovill ferrules were used on Saeco mould handles. Your handles appear to be Saeco handles that have had the wood portion shortened.

I recently purchased a 4-cavity H&G mould which came with nutcracker handles. Holding said mould towards light, there was no way to totally close it. I thought of putting bushings in the handle holes to pick up ~0.002", and then wedged a piece of bent paper-clip in to get them to work. However, obviously not the brightest lamp in the fixture, thanks to a post on this site I later learned that these are LYMAN -- not H&G -- handles. I am/have been looking for H&G handles: I only tried these in one casting session and can sum up my feelings re them in but two words: "Don't like!" All my other moulds (save a few for making fishing-weights) are plier type handles, and this seems the only way to go.... at least for me.
