I want to say it's the Lyman 359 also [it looks just like the one I have in my Lyman picture guide]
no crimp groove would tend to make one think about a black powder design, but the pointy nose would have to be for a single shot or a magazine fed gun.
32-40,32 miller, 32-20 would all be possible uses, or if it's intended for a 30 cal it could be from an old arsenal H&G design for reduced distance armory practice.
the cutting doesn't bear that out though since you can usually see the cherry 'swirl' marks in the nose.
so I'm thinking Ideal or a more modern aluminum mold.

AND WE HAVE A WINNER!!!!!!!!!!
Good job Brad! I knew your diligence would get you there!!!!
Got this ol' gal used for a good price.... She had a rough life but she's almost back in shape. Got a little alignment pin work still to do.... But it casts pretty good and accurate bullets now. (With no flat sides!)
RCBS still uses this block configuration....I wish they kept a 3 cavity option. RCBS has improved the sprue plate and attachment bolt. RCBS cheapened the attachment screws (and pins) for the handles. Lachmiller uses nice one piece ones! Had to modify a set of Lee handles to fit the narrow mounting grooves...

Well, if you find her kind of tired at times it's because I wore her out at work finding obscure parts. Try finding a Parker RCP-400S-H manual pilot control for sale some time...yeah, Parker could make one in two months for $1400, or I could snipe one off fleabay for $27.99 and free freight. Amazon is also one of my favorite slaves
Good job on figuring that one out, Brad.
