How much is too much for an Old Hollywood Vintage Press

[Pressman]

Just bought a hollywood universal 3 Turret With 14 dies $800 Did I get beat?
Belonged to a 90 year old smith.

I bought mine 15 years ago for $150.00 and thought that was too much. Looks like a good rate of return on investment.

That is a decent price. I have seen some go for less, and others for more. Depends on the condition and what came with it.

Hollywood Goon,

If your press is short any parts, there are people on Ebay and here who can supply them.

Welcome to the club.

Thanks for the welcome. Right now, I have 3 Hollywood presses (2 Senior Turrets and 1 Single Stage). I do plan on replacing some of the priming post and the universal shell holder cause there in bad shape. If you got the time, could you post there contacts here. I'm mainly looking for original parts (New old stock).

Also if anyone is interested, there are 2 new listings on eBay right now for 2 Hollywood Turret presses. One is a Vintage 1936 Hollywood Turret Reloading Press with the wooden handle (wow, it's nice looking).

The "1936" press is a Model C from 1953-1959.

Do a search for "Hollywood" only in Presses & Accessories and look for the primer arms from the dealer in Port Ritchie Florida. These are the real thing, NOS from the remainder of the original Hollywood stock.

This is the person you want to talk to about everything Hollywood.
