BTW, I agree with you. That is one of the neatest old pieces I've seen yet.
I do have one die for it . . . somewhere. The dies are much like a Lyman except they are are a little smaller in diameter . . . about 43/64". They also have a lip on top. I had the original die out due wanting to have some made for it in various sizes but now have misplaced it. But still they wouldn't be hard to duplicate.
I did a lot of research and it is a Modern Bond. I believe that Modern Bond was bought out by Lyman in about 1951 . . . I think.
If someone else had of done to me what I did to myself . . . I'd have killed him. Humility is an asset. Heh - heh.
