Hi All,

Had a pretty exciting score today from an estate sale that was just about to end. I got about fifty Mibs for $16 bucks and these three jumped out immediately. I'm not 100 percent on what the first two are but, hoping you fine folk could assist. I'll have some better pics and I'm sure more mibs to show once I go through them all.

Nice♥️

[Jzoook6]

If you know German agates, you know green or blue dyed shooters are as rare as hen's teeth. So imagine my smile when I gambled less than $20 shipped on these two, assuming they were likely machine ground and newer which in my experience they usually are.

Nope! Hand-faceted and as happy in their new home as I am to have them. 😁

Whoa, that's the biggest pile of bullet molds ever! I see something I think would be a good heads up as you wait and receive those. 

One you may overlook. . Down in bottom there's a yellow or amber and white slag looking one, it might be hand gathered. The typical HG 9 pattern might be hard to see, because when it's squished into the mold then after the grinding and seam is made smooth to become round the HG 9 pattern becomes squished and so, tough to imagine or see as the center gets lost wherever the seams were ground.  

It's kind of like; if you cut a slag in half, with a 1/8" blade where you would lose the 1/8" for the blade size. Put it back together. It would be oval of course, but that ease of following the spiral flow when gathered is disrupted and do not match. Instead of being cut out, it was squeezed out. 

I ran across a smaller group of 10-15 in Germany Ebay about 10 years ago with a number of the ground Guinea style like yours and some not ground, shiny gloss, Guinea, red, white and blue spotted like CAC but bullet mold:  

 3 or 4 of the ground bullet molds were just two colored and hand gathered. 

Sorry no photo for now, but here's a big one 1-1/8" where, for being so large, is easier to see, that popped up in Germany IDK but  few years later. You can get an idea of what squeezing a hand gathered gob into a mold does to it. :

I would guess, Hand Gathered slag bullet mold would be the oldest and rarest too, yet not as high valued as the Guinea or more attractive colors would be of the Czech or?, So, be sure to check it and possibly others in your monster score. Wow!
