Description

This lot features a scarce single cavity bullet mould manufactured by the OHAUS Scale Corporation, based in Florham Park, New Jersey. While OHAUS is primarily known for its precision laboratory and reloading scales, they briefly produced reloading accessories, making this mould a unique piece for collectors of vintage reloading equipment. The tool is a heavy metal two-block design featuring a top-mounted sprue cutter secured by a large slotted screw. The mould blocks are clearly marked “OHAUS 333” and bear the specification “30-180-R,” indicating a design intended to cast a .30 caliber, 180-grain round nose rifle bullet. The lot includes the original black cardboard packaging box, which is marked with the OHAUS registered trademark, the product name “BULLET MOULD,” and the company address (29 Hanover Rd., Florham Park, NJ 07932). The presence of the zip code dates this item to the post-1963 era, likely the 1960s or 1970s.
