    Help identify Mold handles

    I am clean and sorting my supplies and came across a couple of these handles and I do not remember where I got them. They fit both single and double cavity molds. I do not see any markings at all on them.
    Any idea who or when the were made?
    Thanks for the help.

    Look like Lyman/Ideal handles to me

    The jaws are made of aluminum I think. They weigh 5.33 oz. My old double cavity Lyman weighs 10.31 oz.

    I figured out a piece of the puzzle The handles came with my shiloh mold. Still do not know who made them since shiloh contracted the items out.

    They remind me of Rapine handles. I'll try to dig out my one Rapine mold tomorrow (in the daylight) to make sure.
