A vintage Lyman single cavity bullet casting mold block designed for use by handloaders and reloaders. The mold is constructed of heavy duty steel or cast iron and consists of two main rectangular blocks joined by a screw, featuring a hinged top sprue plate with a lever extension and retention screw. The side of the metal block is clearly stamped with the manufacturer name LYMAN, followed by the specific bullet design number 225415 and the secondary identifier 489. This mold block is designed to produce a specific projectile profile corresponding to the 225415 designation. The item includes its original cardboard packaging, which features the black and beige striped design and branding for Lyman of The Leisure Group, Inc., placing its manufacture in the post-1970 era. The box instructions indicate the mold requires external handles marked SMALL for operation. Measurements unknown.
