Love finding the old stuff !
a friend said .. Hey Sandy ! , betcha know what this is ..
It was not to hard to see what it is ,as it was in it's own box along with a lot of other reloading supplies.
It is in good shape also .

I have one just like it. The leather washer gave up last week and I emailed Redding and a few days later I had a new rubber cup in the mail, no charge! That is great customer service.

Because I have no idea what the washer/cup does, this may be useless info, but the guys who collect Coleman lanterns say the leather pump cups last longer than the rubber (in their application, and when kept properly oiled), they often change out rubber for leather before they go bad. On older models they have figured out how to make ones that are no longer manufactured. Might help someone if they get in a "tight" sometime.Quote:

I have a Herters that looks just about like that. The handle, linkage, top punch carrier, guide rods, and the cross bar at the bottom of the rods are the same. The lube tube is larger diameter and part of the main casting. The pressure screw is just a half inch threaded rod with a bent end instead of the ratchet. I've used it off and on since I bought it in the mid 70s.
wow 1973
Beautiful find. It oozes craftsmanship. Congrats.
It ain't that long ago. I was 20 back then.......Quote:

IIRC Tom Mann used to hand out Saeco lead pots so people doing homework could cast Little Georges. As my buddy had one I made a lot of muzzleloader round balls.
1973 is NOT old! Youngsters :killingpc :kidding:
Me tooQuote:

Darn, I was 20 also.
Bunch of Geezers! I was 16.
I had 6 yr old children in "73, but whose's counting?
Awwww com'on guys ......
I titled it "older items" .... didn't say anything about antiques ! .....:lol:
I am an older item to some, and I do use some antique tools in reloading. I have also retired some in favor of newer more robust machinery.
That said, I also occasionally shoot an Eli Whitney revolver in 32 rimfire.
Does that qualify?
Qualify's as the best !
I was 12 in 1973, I'm only 'vintage' not antique. Nice find.
I was born in 1982....but I have one of these vintage Lubrisizers by Saeco. Love it...except when I have to buy dies, especially if I need it in a non-stock size. That is where the RCBS / Lyman have an advantage--availability and price point for the lube dies.
I had to replace the leather washer a couple years ago...and it needs to go back for a tuneup since the retention stops don't hold the lever up anymore. But I sure love using it.
l recently picked up a Redding scale in the box of the ''Black Crackle Era''. Price embossed into the box printing is $9.. Weights measured on it match with my RCBS 10-10, 505, and a digital scale
Black???
I've only seen brown crinkle paint on those. Running two of them right now. Within 0.1 grain of getting the two pans "unified" so I don't need to keep track of which one goes where.
Agree turned 21 that yearQuote:

turtles, when old, have moss on their backs. so your only old if there is moss on your back at least that what I've been told.
When i go to Cracker Barrel, i know what most of the instruments / tools are, and have used many.
I was 38 in 1973, and I don't have any moss on back---YET, and I still enjoy the reloading game.
