Line up
My Ideal BLACK POWDER ANTIQUE EXPRESS TOOL arrived today. Extremely rare to find these tools intact. I have a few EXPRESS MOLDS and tools but all are missing the original insert. This one actually has the factory insert.
I was always curious as to what the original tubular core looked like exactly? Look how deep the core is on the BLACK POWDER EXPRESS BULLET ( Photo 1)
Photo 2&3 are post 1900 smokeless Hollow point tools having the wedge core used for many years.
Photo 4 is a modern DEVASTATOR hollow point. Shallow but wide core.
So this is the 140 year transition from the earliest EXPRESS BULLET to todays Hollowpoint. It’s actually further back but this photo’d tool takes us back that far.
