I received a used TC Maxi Ball mold and need handles. I think I've finally tracked down the Thompson model # for the handles (Thompson Center single cavity mold handles #732), but wondered if any other brands may work.
Thanks - Randy

For the Lyman single cavity molds?

I use Lyman handles on mine.
I just took the handles off of a Lyman single cavity mold and they fit my TC mold. I think that Lyman also makes another size for their 2 cav mold that probably would work too.
Old style Lyman single cavity. I have a set of T/C handles on one of my Lyman moulds. I discovered that they fit one day when I was getting a mold out of storage to use and the T/C handles were the first thing I got ahold of.Robert
Lee's six cavity handles may work.

TC and Lyman 1c handles are the same...metal wise,.... made in the same place I would bet. I personally prefer the long tapered wood on the TC versions and actively seek them out as they fit my mitts better than the stubby wood on the Lyman version.
Seems like the TC single cavity handles are hard to come by.

Bingo! Work like a charm, although that tiny mold looks a little silly hanging way out there on those long handles.Lee's six cavity handles may work.

Yes Lee 6 cavity handles work fine.

T/C stopped making handles back in 04
