They stopped selling new ones as the Feds put restricitons on lead, and the cost of liability insurance for companies dealing with lead skyrocked. Used is the only now adays.

Hi, Just a thought about Lead Hammer molds. I you have a glass factory nearby try to get in touch with their mold shop manager. They almost always have a mold set around.
I have some handles for lead hammers and some with scrap lead heads on them. I wouldn't be able to look for them until next summer. Red Matthews - Harry's bro.
