Herter's- I have the exact same one brand new never used with a .358 Die and no top punch. I bought it in 1968 or 69 then went off to college and raised a family. Meanwhile Herter's is gone and I haven't been able to find a top punch that would work. I'm too Scotch to trash it and keep hoping to find a top punch.

Why not make or have made an adapter to accept a common top punch or alter the press to accept a common top punch or punch with adapter.

That looks like a SAECO which looks like a old lyman. On my SAECO the top punch screws in. Is their a name on it I cannot see any thing from the picture.

This one looks to have a thumb screw for the top punch

Greetings Have you tried Lyman punches ? They may be close to what you need.

Yes, Lyman top punches fit mine.
Lyman dies fit and seal ok. The thumb screw doesn't hold the die in place very well. If you are not sizing much it may hold. I think the dies need a flange though.

I haven't played with mine much. Some day I will make dies for it.
Good luck with your endeavor.

Bought one just like this from Ben, use Lyman and RCBS top punches and dies, works great, very nice unit. PM me if you want to sell, I'd like another.
