Guesstimate value?

[CrappieHappy]

I was curious what value a Ament b862 jig head mold has? Also a Palmer 401 sinker mold. I have not seen them in person, but the pics look good.

Thanks for any assistance.

Found a couple via craigslist, just wondering what they are worth, may try to look at em tomorrow or wed.

Unless they have been worked they will pour with lots of flashing.

If you collect Ament go for the custom single cavity.

Palmer has a percission mold - they have a 4 digit model number

Ok, he was asking 12.00 bucks each, didn't know if work picking up.

Even for collecting I wouldn't go more than $10

If you even THINK about buying to pour you want pictures inside and out, and around the handles both sides. You want close ups if it even looks weird only get it for collecting.

I've seen some that I thought of buying and you could see where it had been brazed because it had been cracked.

I've got an old Palmer sinker mold that pours GREAT, only problem now is here in Vermont can use a lead sinker less than 1/2 ounce or it's got to be non-lead.

Have to agree with LedHed.I am no expert but they can be picked up all over the mid-west for between $8 and 10 bucks. Most of his muti cavity mold were for the masses. The custom mold were a joy and were very precision. You get one of his single cavity molds and there will be no flash. I am lucky I have two.
