The sizer/lubricator on the left came with the .45 Colt caliber Meepos reloader on the right.

The sizer is unmarked and appears to be a prototype. It has a sizer die of about 30 cal. in it.

Does anyone have any information about it?

No idea about what/when it is. But, it sure is cool! How did you come across it?

I'm glad you like it. The tools came from an estate sale along with some other stuff.

Great photo, how about adding to this months Castpic thread as it fits right in. Unique/antique tools.

That has the appearance of being homemede, by a machinest that knew what he was doing.
What kind of sizing die is in it? Common brand or something different.

Ken. I think you are right. There once were many fine machine shops around this area, and this might well have been the work of one of them.

I'm not sure what kind of die is in it, I have not taken it out yet.
