I have 2 Ideal molds...,

ones an Elmer Keith #429 421 hollow point

ones a #358 439 hollow point that looks just like the Elmer, but I don't know what grain it is.

They both are in very good condition, and have the handles attached.

any ideas on what they're worth?

marlinlover,
Depends on who wants them. They usually go for over $50 on ebay. Sometimes a little less. I see them at gunshows locally in the $45-$55 price range. The 439 goes about 168-172 grs depending on alloy. Mark

Sounds like a lot of money for a used mold seeing you can get a new one with handles for a little over $60. Once you have handles the molds are only $39. I have bought Lyman blocks for $10.

Marlinlover..Thse discontinued Lyman HP moulds are very strong on the used market. I would expect each one with handles to go for $60-$80 on ebay. I would not pay that much for one, but there are plenty of people who will.

sounds like a sports convention where the fisherman interviews the sharks.

And WE know who some of the sharks are. Right Jumptrap?

There was a 358439 that sold on eBay for $76 in the last 10 days. That was without handles. I think $50-60 would be about normal for that mould without handles.

Marlin Lover, those old decrepit obsolete Ideal molds are dangerous to use, and might contain highly toxic chemical residues. Send them to me as soon as possible to avoid further health risks.

OM,

I've got a short list of some I know.
