After a shooting spree, they always want to take the guns away from the people who didn't do it. - William S. Burroughs.
I have an original meepos sales pamphlet dated Nov. 23, 1946 so they were around then.

My bad gentlemen ....
I was a bit curious as to the dates of the machines as I have just acquired a early model (San Diego) star ...
Already have a Meepos and with that , the Dutchman here in Cast Boolits helped me out tremendously with that particular machine.
He furnished an article stating that the Meepos originated in 1940 along with other fascinating tidbits besides making a handle for me that was missing on the machine , so grateful .

The Star coming along possibly in 1934 (with your help salpal48) makes it very interesting as they both work basically the same but the star was just a bit more sophisticated in it's function .
love the history with these machines .

I've got a couple of the meepos sizers, and I honestly like the design almost as much as I like the star, though it is a little cruder in construction.
