Umpteen dozen years ago, I got a primer catcher cup that is finished in Black Crackle Textured Paint. Does anyone have any ideas about maker? Who used that color back in the day? I don't even remember what press I was buying it to fit! Thanks in advance for any answers forthcoming! Tom

Without seeing a picture and assuming that since it is painted it is not plastic, my first guess is that it could be a C-H. I had one for the C press and it was held in place by an aluminum clip that fit over the part of the C closest to the operator and slipped down over the inside of the rear part of the bowl.

Black crackle textured paint....that's not a whole lot to ID with.
I have a Eagle Cobra Press finished like that, CH , Hollywood and some Herter's were black crackle paint ... but, that's about all I can think of.

The best to recommend something here is to see first the picture of the subject needs a recommendation. Please post even just a picture.:)

Krinkle Paint was used to cover up defects is steel and cast Iron castings.

Yes, I have a Texan with black crinkle finish
Does the primer catcher resemble a Crossman pellet can?
