Got this one for $8 It is adjustable, has the tapper like a lyman. No markings at all. Weighs about 3lbs. Set screw by the center hole is where you lock the adjustment. The notch 1:00 oclock at the top right is where you turn a screw to adjust the center like a uniflow measure. I'll have to make a handle for it.
Seems to work perfect, just no handle.
Anyone know who the maker is?

I believe it's a SAECO. The "Micro Setting" version is in my earliest "Handloaders Digest" from 1962.
The original was introduced in 1947.

Thank you Jerry
Is there any way you can scan the pic so I can see what the handle looks like?
