Early Primer seaters

[salpal48]

For Your Inspection Is My Collection Of Early Unknown Primer seaters. Looking @ the Photo. I am Under the assumption That they were all made By the same person. But I purchased them In Very different Parts Of the United states. There are 2 large , 2 small. and I Case expander ( I think.). Every Screw is some sort Of an adjustment. Some shell holders are Factory Pacific Perfection and some Home made ?. At first I was Not able to get them to work. But I found They all take The old CUP Primers.
The 2 with the Green Handle were purchased In PA. One Came from OHIO, and The Taller One and the expander Came from Calif. All were @ Gun shows.
Any one seen any Like these . a Feedback would Help
Enjoy the Photo

the shell holder look a bit like Potter holders. I don't know that they ever made a dedicated priming tool. Ideal did.
