    Really appreciate the older items ...

    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.
    Great customer service by Redding, I love my powder measure and scale.

    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.

    1973 seems so long ago to me because I was born in 1983

    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.

    I was only 18, I'm not that old. At least as old as some of the fossils are around here. 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?
