    ~ mold #'s are below the handle slot, "429" on the left, "244" on the right, and "855" middle bottom. "855" is also on the other half same location.

    Overall in very good but lightly used condition.

    Guessing this is an older mold?
    Yes. 2 cavity molds came out in 1949, and the vent line molds entered production in 1950. The Ideal brand marking continued until the late 1950's, possibly as late as 1960. So your mold was produced in that era. Is it an old one? Older than most, certainly.

    When you can't find a gas check you need, call Hornady. They have an 800 number, and they have more inventory than their distributors.

    But also they are a family run company and I have called on them about some gas checks and they were very kind in helping me with the gas checks I got from them.
