I found this a couple weeks ago thinking it may be some sort of wire crimp tool. I normally get rid of locked up pliers and other tools but i always want to be extra sure i am not getting rid of something more.
After posting a picture on the "what is it " forum it was quickly identified as a bullet mold...from there i was able to locate an exact match on the web.
Looks to be a typical civil war era small cal bullet mold!
For now the mold is locked up tight but i will soak it in some oil and see if i can get it unstuck.
Here is what it should look like when i am done cleaning it.
It has two different types of chambers...one for a round ball and the other for a conical bullet
I sure am glad i didn't trash this one!
HH everyone!
