It's a Hollywood Junior.
Happy new year Pressman,
How many of these presses do you have?
Grmps, I have a Hollywood shortage, only 7 plus the original Universal
And Happy New Year to you sir
Buy and keep anything Hollywood reloading
Pressman, although I'll defer to your knowledge and expertise, I've never seen a Hollywood that looked like that.
If you have one, could you put some pics up of it?

The green press is the first Junior I acquired. Someone had repainted it. Pretty, but not authentic. The second is the press I currently own, black and ugly with chipping paint that's so typical of aluminum Hollywood's. Third pic shows the carrier in more detail.
These presses have no name, numbers or any type of identifying markings.

Thanks for that Pressman. Don't remember ever seeing one. Been using a Hollywood Sr. off-n-on for well over a half century. Would love to get my greedy little hands on a Hollywood turret, but need to wait until we make our move out of Commiefornia and see how much mad-money I have left.

Thats a clever design ,the cylindrical centre piece requires no machining for guides,just two slots for the links.....even the slots could be eliminated .
I have a Hollywood Junior, mostly to keep my Senior and Turret presses company. I cleaned and repainted it, using a satin black, and it turned out rather nice. I then tried using it and found why it didn't get rave reviews "way back when". Although it was a clever design and Hollywood's least expensive press, those three upright rods make it difficult to insert and retrieve cases. Still makes a nice display item though.
