Title: Old Bullet Mold
Post by: mullet on December 24, 2017, 01:32:38 pm

I picked this up in an Antique Store last week. I've been google searching it and everything I've found says pre Civil War or Revolutionary War,,,or reproduction . It has a stamp in the metal next to the shrew cutter that looks like "031" with the 3 stamped backwards. If someone knows more about it please enlighten me.

Post it on the ALR site, they will tell you what you have. It looks like a modern bag mold to me.

Thanks, Eric. The black paint had me leaning towards modern, also.

Typically, if they have a sprue cutter they are modern.
