Delivered today. Got it on eBay. I like combo molds. I like to try and imagine what the original buyer was thinking or planning. This mold was obviously ordered by someone who was a .45 ACP shooter. Three cavities are 452460, Ideal's original 200 gr SWC target bullet. One cavity is a 452374, Ideal's 225 gr round nose. There are no Lyman markings on the old, apparently it predates Lyman's ownership.
Bullet designations stamped on side of Ideal mold.
One .45 ball and three target bullets
The cavities look fine, a snidge rough but no real pitting
