not sure , Lyman handle screws go all the way through. Rcbs maybe. Bet lyman handles would work though.
That is a TC mold. I have a number of them.

If you don't want it, I have a T/C that can use it.
I have quite a few myself T/C. The number was to keep to two have correctly together. Don't know why they didn't put their name on them but I have seen them still in the package that way. If they were RCBS they wouldn't fit Lyman handles. Doesn't much matter who made them, use and enjoy.
i had handles for them long ago i guess i have to get some handles,,,they must be here somewhere around my house

Interesting. I have a few T/C molds and bought them maybe 20 years ago. But they are aluminum! That's why I thought it was interesting.
Those pics and especially the shape of the sprue cutter/sprue plate tell me it was made by someone other than T/C. That someone may have been Ohaus or perhaps Green Mountain, as I had a NIB .50cal. (not .490") that came in a Green Mountain box. Except for the "as cast" RB diameter, it was identical to the one pictured. Two other possibilities: Ohaus may have also made Green Mountain moulds or it was made by Shiloh. I'm not an expert on Lyman moulds, but theirs are usually "iron" rather than anodized aluminum and their sprue plates are differently shaped...but I could be wrong. I.e., they may have contracted with T/C for a run of moulds.
These molds are aluminum. All TC molds were. All mine are.

right this is aluminum, just a different color, but i found out that it is a t/c mold,,i started shooting t/c 50 cal muzzleloaders around 1975 or somewhere are that time
I have some Green Mountain molds and they are very similar if not the same as the TC.
