My cousin gave me some more reloading stuff from my late uncle's stuff. Got some ingot molds, a lube/sizer, and a bottom pour casting pot. The molds I know of. The sizer has no manufacturers info on it other than what appears to be a U1 stamped on the side. Orange color, spring assist return. The lube wrench says Lyman-Ideal with CM-13 stamped on it. The other side has J W Chapman stamped on it.
The lead pot is cute. It has Potter cast into the cast iron base. Might have been black when new. Looks like one might get 2 pounds of lead in it. No thermostat, just an on off switch. Still heats up. Got plans to just clean it up and put it on a shelf as a decoration in my room. Still heats up. Any info you can give would be great.









And to top it off, 35 pounds of sheet lead.

Greetings,

The Greaser is most likely an Ideal, pre Lyman.

The furnace is a Potter. They made a lot of interesting loading tools back when.

The ingot mould with "P" is a Potter mould. Ingots weigh about 1/2 pound.

Sheet Lead is good. Add some Tin and cast up some excellent target loads for your revolver or Black Powder Cartridge Rifle. 20:1 is a good starting point.

Cheers,

Dave

The lubricator is a Lyman 45 from 1947 to about 1967. Give or take. The aluminum cap on the grease tube makes this a later model. It is a modernized version of the Ideal #1 lubesizer dating from 1901 through 1946.

Potter lead pot is an antique, early 1950's. Good, but small.

Nice score!

That 45 lubrisizer is in beautiful condition. I much prefer them to the newer style Lyman's. I call the little Potter the office model, you could store it in a drawer in your desk, and pull it out over dinner hour, and mould a few bullets, but only if you were the boss !

Thanks for the feedback. I put those Lyman ingot molds to work today. Cast 247 ingots of mixed old cast boolits.

I had a 5 gallon bucket of cast boolits given to me.

I have the same potter furnace it will hold 10 lbs of lead easy they are built like tanks if it starts dripping real bad drain the pot and you will find a lot of slag build up around the pin hole clean it real good and there you go.
