I am trying to do some research for a friend. Does any one know of any antique books that I might find the value of these items. These are iron single cavity, number on the handle that does not go with the caliber ( 10-.363 or 75-.395 or 16-.672 ). One is interesting that one handle is a screwdriver andthe other seems to be a barrel wrench.

  Hello reloading equipment has been around for many years . I have some older Catalogs but the price then would have no bearing on what any Item would be worth today. The only way is to look at the auction side of this site and others and also to Gun Shows as an example a 2 cavity mold block in 41 Colt and 44 Special would have cost the same when they were new. However the 41 colt mold would bring 4 times as much today as a 44 special Because the 41 colt was discontinued many years ago.Reloading presses can range from going up in value like a BIG HOLLYWOOD to being almost no value like a Herters that does not take standard shell holders

  There is a book called "Antique Loading Tools and Bullet Molds of the Past", but it has no values listed. You will have to ascertain values by research and seat of the pants (asking prices in dealer catalogs, sale prices from auctions, etc.).
  
  Also keep in mind that "antique" loading tool to me and most such collectors refers to the period of (approximately) the 1870's to WWI.
