A well-crafted iron bullet mold featuring two cavities—one for casting a round ball and the other for a conical bullet. This dual-purpose design offered versatility for small percussion revolvers of the era, allowing shooters to select between ball or conical ammunition depending on preference and availability. The mold shows balanced shaping and a sturdy, functional layout characteristic of American manufacture from the 1850s period.
