Bullet mold, not sure of the caliber. the handle is actual wood, felt like leather at first....no cracks at all. I guess not that old?
The markings are 25-35 S.R.

bullet mold, pour melted lead in the latch hole in the top, after cooling, unlatch and there's your bullet, blunder will love this piece.

the shape of the casting is known as a "Mini-Ball"
Black powder weapons
