It is not a C&H but closely resembles one.
Appears to be RCBS.
In all, the .41 Magnum would be one of my top choices for an all-around handgun if I were allowed to have only one. - Bart Skelton
It's not quite like my RCBS?, sitting here staring at mine and holding a collet in my grubby paw, the blued and plated parts are bass akwards, the handle is different and the collets have no keyway in them.

Looks like a Forster collet bullet puller to me.
You can miss fast & you can miss a lot, but only hits count.
Foster uses different collets.
This one uses collets something like RCBS.
RCBS collets don't work.
Did Saeco or Pacific make bullet pullers????
This is my Forster. Doesn't look the same.

I know it's not a custom made puller.
It was in a box of reloading/casting equipment that the owner never used.
He's gone on to a better place.
Bought late 50's or early 60's.
Mostly Potter, some Lyman, so maybe it's made by Potter?????
Old Lyman????
Looks like something Herter's may have put out awhile ago, just a guess on my part.
I have a set of Teaxs dies and it kind of looks like that. At least the top half.
die part of it looks like an old lyman die. Lyman made stuff for herters so it very well could be a herters.
At least to me, from the color and style, it apprears most likely to be Lachmiller.
Agree with Blackhawk44, my guess would be Lachmiller.
It's built well. Stronger than it needs to be.
Back then, they made things to last a lifetime.
Just looked at my Herters from the mid 70s and it looks little different.
I wonder why there's no name on it????
It would seem the manufactor would want put something on it.
Manufactures are real good at NOT putting their name on tools, at least they were in the 50's and 60's.
Looking through the catalogs I can say it is not Herter's theirs is the same as Forster. Not C-H, not Lachmiller before 1970. Might be post 1970, more digging will be required for that answer.
It is not Texan nor is it RCBS or Pacific.
Lyman never made anything for Herter's but C-H did make most all the later Herter's dies. Herter's apparently did buy some 45 Lubesizers from Lyman, possibly as surplus at the end of 45 production and sell them as Herter's. In later years they offered some Lyman tools. Herter's also sold the Redding powder measure under their name at the end.
