The larger one is 36 caliber and made by the Manhatten Arms Co; the smaller one is 32 caliber and I can't find any maker's marks on it.

Nice old stuff Mazo.  I enjoy seeing the antique accessories some members have collected over the years.    I'll bet Len on the 1858 forum would like to see the .36 cal Manhattan revolver mould.   He owns a Manhattan Navy and I know he made a mould for it himself.

Very nice. Love old collateral gun stuff.

My biggest concern is that when I pass away, my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them.

The Manhatten mould has the rivet securing the halves together; the 32 caliber has screws both for the pivot and the sprue stop. It does appear that the 32 conical cavity has a rebated base on the heel of the bullet.
