Hollywood senior turrent press

[dom62234]

Guys, heres the problem and question: I recently bought a bunch of presses and dies, among the stuff I bought was a "Harrells", a Redding model 25/26, and a "Hollywood senior turrent press" pre-59 from what I can find out about it. It is a 12 station head on a cast aluminum base, large and heavy. Any idea of value and collectability, any info at all??? Thanks, Dom

If it's 12 hole, it's either the "Universal" (most likely), or the "Super."

Press experts, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think a Universal in nice condition should fetch at least $500, depending on what comes with it. There is one on Ebay right now, with a bid of $350.

The Super tool is VERY rare, and a monster. Lyle made up 50 or 100 of them and it took something like twelve years to sell them all. I have only seen two in person, Elmer Keith's and Kent Lomont's. The last Super tool that I know of that traded hands sold for $5500.
