When did Ideal go out of business or become something else?

I saw an Ideal bullet mold in an antique shop yesterday, and I wonder if it's really "antique". It looks awfully good to be real old.

As far as I know Lyman is not out of business. Ideal is the name they use on their molds. Always have I think.

Ideal was purchased by Lyman in the late 30's. IIRC Lyman used the Ideal name into the late 50's, maybe early 60's.
