been casting & playing with new toy (hardness tester) so to take a brake i opened a package i bought from a ruger forum member& guess what a 450 lubesizer that had the old red bicycle handle& the lube screw wrench, lube well cover& some old alox lube i thought i have to burn out!!!!
but i got it cleaned for inspection ,the shaft is hardly worn ,nice & tite like maybe sized only 10 boolits, so i installed my sizer die & some carnauba red & it going like a champ!!!!
wondering how old it is with the old red bicycle handle set up ,i know lyman seels updated toggle sys. for these ,my first sizer had the old handle till it broke thats when lyman sold me the update toggle sys. ??????

I have one of the older Lyman 450 sizers with the bicycle grip. I bought it in about 1971. It still works fine, although I've broken and repaired it several times.
