H&G Mould Chart
Notes: If a mould number is a blue hyperlink, then I have a picture of the mould. Photos are primarily in the “Mould Number” column, many have two or more photos, the other photos are in the Weight/Grains column or the diameter column.  Look for a blue hyperlink. The Type & Comments column all link to the same page. I am always looking for new photos.  Please contact me via email if you have a photo you would like to share.  My email address is at the bottom of this page. *Warning to eBay Sellers* * Tips for eBay Sellers * George A.
