What are they?

[Michael J. Spangler]

I know the first 2 are reloading dies.... one is marked 38 and the other has no markings. What type of press would these have been use in? One appears to have a carbide sizing ring and the other does not.
These were all in the bottom of a box of moulds and random screws and nuts and some loaded 38 wadcutters.
Is the plate with holes some type of sizing plate? the holes all appear very uniform and have radiuses edges. I know the old ballisti cast sizer had some type of similar sizing plate.
There was a magma style mould in there with a couple extra sprue plates.... I'm sure all of this came from a commercial reloading and casting company that is long since gone.
Thanks for the help guys!

if pressman doesn't see this PM him.
if he doesn't know, he can point you in the right direction.

Thank you!

Shot a PM to pressman lets see what he says.

Well, Pressman does not know and neither can he point you in the right direction. What I do know is that I have some just like them and have never seen any pictured in any catalogs, books or magazines.

Hi Ken,

Thanks for checking in.
The search continues. I'll let you know if I figure anything out.

The one looks like a decapping die.

I think they're both sizing dies but no clue what type of press they would go to.
