1960s Pond Sinkers

I hit some good fishing sinkers today. I was working a small pond the landowners made for their horses back in the early 60's.

Yeah I should have just said "60's Pond Sinkers". Now I realize one can't edit the title.

So, the mold line on the three ringer in the center is common and the mold line is on both sides of the bullet?

I ask because I found a three ringer a couple of years ago out here and the mold line made me think it might be a newly made replica or something like that.

It's because the bullet mold hinge is slightly worn out or bent, not aligning the two halves properly.
