Description

This lot consists of three ammunition reloading tools including two bullet molds and one set of mold handles. The first item is a Lee double-cavity bullet mold featuring aluminum blocks and wooden handles with metal ferrules. Key markings include the manufacturer name LEE and the number 420 stamped into the block, with the caliber designation 375 written in black marker on the side. The second item is a Lyman bullet mold with steel blocks and wooden handles, bearing the stamped manufacturer name LYMAN and the number 761. The third item is a pair of mold handles featuring unfinished wooden grips and a steel hinge assembly with mounting holes for mold blocks. All components are designed for manual bullet casting and show evidence of previous use.


Condition report:

All items show signs of previous use. The aluminum blocks on the Lee mold are in functional condition, though the steel sprue plate exhibits significant surface oxidation and rust. The steel blocks of the Lyman mold show surface oxidation and typical wear from casting. The wooden handles on all items are intact, with the unfinished set showing some staining and the finished sets showing minor dings. The steel hinge assemblies and hardware across all three items show varying degrees of surface oxidation.
