Recent find in my Grandfather's reloading records. Figured might be a fun history piece for some.

The above invoice showcases a 1959 purchase of a brand new Star Universal with extra tool head. The configurations were set up to fit the Hensley and Gibbs #50 and #130 bullets.
We also located the H&G catalog from that time as well.

I used google to figure it out and in today's dollars the Star order would have come in just shy of $1800 and the H&G molds ranged from $188 and up for standard molds.
