Hi
Not sure exactly what I have here besides 2 bullet molds I was told there are from the 1840s-1860s and were Prickett molds I cast a couple in soft lead and the pistol mold is marked 45 and it measure .470 and the other mold measures .420-.445 it's hard to measure since they taper so much so sizes are approx..there isn't much of anything for markings I can see besides the one with 45 on it..wood handles have some cracking in them...I'm sure someone on here knows more than I do...$75 for both molds shipped..postal money order or paypal...prefer friends and family so I get paid right away but if you need to do good and service we can do that add 1.5%...

With their constant taper and solid base they are what I understand to be Picket Bullets.

The Pritchett Bullet was less conical in shape, with parallel sides and a hollow base (and used in the British Enfield rifle).
