Lyman Cast Bullet Handbook.  The one with the "Bullet Caster" and his wife  on the back cover.   I still refer to it off and on, but mostly or information on all the bullet moulds for which Lyman threw the cherries in the garbage can.  At the time that manual was printed single cavity mould blocks were $6.50; double cavity, hollow base, and hollow points blocks were $10,00, and handles, both large and small,  were $5.00.

The copy right date on my edition of that manual, is July of 1958. Adjusted for inflation, those prices are:

$5.00= 54.60
$6.50= 71.00
$10.00=109.20
