Lyman Bullet Mould

While looking for something else, I found a hollow base bullet mould #575602 in the original box. Apparently a Minnie ball? Research indicates it's supposed to cast @ 400 gr. I have no recollection of how or why I got it. Is there any interest anymore in stuff like this?

    There are folks who collect old reloading equipment. Specially some of the older Lyman moulds that are no longer made, or easily obtainable.

    Lot of that stuff shows up on the auctions, specially fleabay.

    If it's one of the older Lyman moulds that is no longer in production? And is sought after by either collectors, or folks who are looking to cast that specific bullet. It might be worth a pretty penny?

    It is a hollow base musket ball weighing 400 grains. The are shown in the Lyman cast bullet handbook. It is non-traditional design.
