At large, whereabouts unknown.
I finally got to take pics of my new 358429 Ideal Keith mould. I'm guesstimating that it's from the early '30s. The pics are a little deceiving online, that's not rust on the blocks, it's dried oil, and the mould is that really cool dark blue I've seen on other moulds from the early thirties, my early 429422 had the same type finish. I originally bought this mould because it looked like an ealry mould in "beater" condition. I was going to hollowpoint it, but that's not happening now. The stamping of the mould identification appears to be done by hand with individual number stamps. I haven't test cast with it yet, my hope is that it's a 173 gr mould, even though it has a rounded grease groove. Now I need to find time to test cast with it.
