Maverick, I saw a really wonderful loading tool display.  I believe the guy’s name is Mark Jones?  I know you have to know this guy.

Yes, it was Mr. Jones, great display and he is passionate about loading tools.

It was great to see a lot of WACA members there.

He had a fabulous display at the WACA show in Cody several years ago.  If anyone has his contact info, please let me know.  I have some questions about my 2nd model .45-75 mold.

Maybe one of the WACA members that knows him can PM him with your request?

Yeah I know Mark. He ended up getting a first place award and $4,000.00 for his display.

I know he’d glad to discuss the mold with you and also make you an offer on it.

When Mark had his display in Cody, he did not have a 2nd model mold, only a photo of mine that he had retrieved from a site on the internet.  He had no idea who the mold belonged to and when I told him it was mine, we both had a good laugh.  He told me at the time that in his searching, he had not been able to find one.  Maybe he has one by now.  At any rate, I don’t plan to sell mine just yet.

He told me that he is missing two items for a full set but I didn’t pay attention to which ones.

I’m pretty sure he hasn’t found one yet. But he has plenty of other “one of a kinds” that are very very rare in their own right.

I think he’s missing one of the model tools in 50-110 and the 1894 Tool in .42 Russian. But I think that’s looking at what would be considered the “standard production” tools and calibers. 

There are Unicorns in the tool world.

In his display one was missing on the farther left side and the other on the far right.  Sorry I didn’t pay more attention.

In case anyone out there is needing a visual. Here are some images of Mark’s display that he had sent me a little while back.

These are from other shows and not the Vegas show.
