Lyman stopped selling Ideal Armory moulds in the early 1950's I think. They made them from about 1880 to somewhere in the 1940's.

Though you can occasionally find ones in excellent condition, most need work. One of the people who claimed to be able to repair these blocks, both the blocks themselves and the wood handles, was Jim Colburn. Maybe he can. What he doesn't do, however, is return them. Don't send him anything. You'll never get it back! I'm sure about that. He kept three Ideal Armory moulds of mine that I would value at about $800 and I know others who have had similar problems.

Jim doesn't advertise but if you put up an announcement that you are looking for someone do to this kind of work you may be an e-mail from him.
