Hollywood gun shop senior turret

[Tracvision]

I listed an original "NEW" ( new old stock) Hollywood Senior Turret on Ebay. The winner on Ebay will be the very first owner. This Senior Turret was produced by Lyle Corcoran while he still operated his shop in Hollywood, California. Lyle was born in 1902 and left us 86 years later, in 1988. However, his creations still live on. Lyle cut no corners when it came to quality. The Senior Turret is one of the most sought after presses that Lyle made.

Do you have any of the original packaging material or paper work to support the new and unused claim? I am interested.

Thanks,
Ken

Pressman,

Thanks for the question. When I obtained Mr. Corcoran's remaining inventory, I also obtained some Patents (originals), personal notes and much correspondence ( some handwritten ). I also obtained original photographs, advertising and the full sized negatives to boot. I have some of his original prototype machines including the Super Turret. As for packaging material, that was not anywhere to be found. However, the Turrets were still wrapped in the original waxed paper. If there are any additional pictures you would like to see, feel free to ask. Harold

Here are a few pix from my shop. Ever seen a tall boy? I dont think this press ever went into production, but I would welcome being proven wrong. This was made for the 20mm but I dont think there was enough demand for Mr. Corcoran to make any.

Hey MD, The tubs in the background are most parts for the Senior Turrets. Some powder measure parts also. I have 5 of these storage bins for the smaller parts. This one shows "mostly" powder measure parts. Did you notice the wrapped turrets in PIC one of the first set of pix ?

Wow, that is great stuff! There was a pic or two in Sharpe's book that showed the milling of the castings for the Universal press, but that was the only look inside the manufacturing process I'd ever seen before.

Sweet, hope you get the big bucks for it.

I am not a member of team hollwood, as I only have one HW press and use it instead of collect, but for what it is worth, I will extend an invite. lol

There is not a chance in your parts that you have the original dies that hold the primer tubes is there.

Starmac, I don't think they are here but I keep some items in Colorado where I spend the summer. In a rush? I just got back to Florida. BTW Thanks for the Team Hollywood invite. If you use your Hollywood, I am sure you are a certified member.
