Bullet Molds

Bullet molds are often found alongside Ethan Allen cased percussion firearms. Although having a unique Allen vintage; these molds typically lack identifying marks and  bear a strong resemblance to those supplied with cased firearms from other makers. It is almost certain that Ethan Allen did not manufacture the molds himself; rather, they were sourced from third-party suppliers.

Presented below are some of the most frequently encountered examples.
