Also came with a few dies.

It depends on your loading style and available space. Personally I would keep them. If you do plan on selling them or part of the stuff I am interested. Nice find.

I have no idea who owned all that gear but I think he was a very serious reloader. I think I see an old Lyman #5 powder measure that the somebody painted blue.

What model press between the Dunbars? Also what is the tool between the Redding powder measures? Looks like another measure but I'm not sure.

Those are great presses, I would use them without any problem.
The only drawback is that because of the type of linkage they are do not have as much leverage as the modern presses like a rock chucker but these old presses should serve you well.

If you don't like these old timers I am sure that you will be able to sell them pretty fast (just send me a PM and perhaps I can take one).

Cheers!

I'm gonna clean em up a bit and see how smooth they are. Seem to be built like brick {outhouse}.

Dunbar's are in demand, they bring good money on eBay. The press in the center is a Easton Little Giant - seriously modified. Unfortunately that takes away from its value.
You have a good lot of stuff there. Some things that I would be interested in. The homemade powder measures, Easton dies.

If by chance you have a 17 Zipper FL die in that pile you're willing to sell, I'm interested. I have the the Easton Seater die but would be interested in a complete set. Thanks, Ray

Dunbars are very nice, very strong presses. I had two I restored. Sold one, have one for sale.

Here is my thread on restoring them.

Good lord! Look at that pile of dies! The locking rings are worth a ton of money alone!
