I received this and a few other pieces in a trade recently.

Any value to the 44-40 mold? Cavity seems OK

Also, I have a set of sights in the same trade. I assume these are the original 94 sights and they were too large for the box they came in. Some rust. Patent date on the sight elevator. Any value to these parts?

The rear sight is a standard 1894 rear sight no.22. The box is for Lyman tang peep I think. That's why the tang screw is in the box. The tang peep required longer bolts to mount. The small screw is the plug screw for the forward hole in the 94 tang. It would be removed to mount the sight. Patent date is probably 1901 on the elevator. Front sight is probably a standard 1894 front sight, the owner may have gone with a different front sight probably a bead instead of the blade. The whole works are probably worth $100 to someone looking for originals. More if you wait weeks to sell them.
A member on here named Road King is the guy to ask about the MARLIN bullet mold. Nice that you have the box, collectors love that. Just guessing but value is probably over $200 for the mold and box. My 2 cents.

You would be pushing it to $200 for the Marlin Bullet mould. Usually see these going for around $100 but you can ask whatever you want. I agree with Mike on the value of the sights.
