They look to be about 10 degree per side on the dovetail but are obviously offset to allow for the width of the key. From what I've read elsewhere, I saw figure of 1/8" per foot taper with the small side being the left of the anvil (die mount) mentioned. I've read dozens of posts today but the only real figures I can find is that the large Yoder dies are 3" square and that's about it. I'm sure a lot of these features can be made to what suits you but it would be nice to find some original dimensions.
