Here is the press as I found it.

After a little TLC. Press is really tight, not worn at all.

I had one just like it in 1961 that I bought new. Loaned it out and never got it back. I have been looking for one at the right price for years!

Looking good - and nice bench, btw.

That's a nice restoration. Would you consider another loan? :wink:

I don't think I make that mistake again!! Thanks for the compliment though!

That's what my bench looks like when I close my eyes[smilie=l:

The other 6 feet out of the picture looks good when I close my eyes too!

I re-purposed mine to a dedicated priming press for the 50BMG. It is perfect, as I can "feel" the seating pressure.

Nice job on that old girl. I've got one that looks just like your top picture. I'll just keep using mine like it is, I would buy a red bicycle grip for the handle if I could find one.

I would love to find an old c&h 1 or 3 die press, at a reasonable price of course! You did it justice for sure! Looks good.

That's pretty impressive...looks new.

I'm just have fond of the memories at 15 years old, learning on my CH C press and a CH H press like this one. Lost the C press at the same time. Glad to have the H back though.

job well done!

I always enjoy seeing these kind of projects
