RCBS bullet swage dies -

I have two rcbs bullet swage dies 22 and 25 calibers -
These are some of the first dies Fred made, perhaps wwii or soon after -
They are two piece, interuptred thread and useable in a standard 7/8" threaded press -
They are a real machinists nightmare!
Any one have feel for their value?
I am trying to put a value on my stuff for my daughter to sell when I am gone --

I have no idea of what they are worth but judging by how old reloading stuff is beginning to be collected...My guess is that they will have some great value someday. It is good to value them and keep them safe and in good condition.

Can't help on the value, but I love seeing the old designs. If you could post pictures that would be greatly appreciated.

Nightmare is an understatement.....I had to make a bunch of adaptors and a Tool head for a Different press for a mate of mine.. It sent me freakn grey..
