Early Stevens reloading tool

[Danth]

In an 1876 Stevens catalog a reloading tool is offered, but no picture. Anymore know what it looks like? Don't think it's the Ideal tong tool, but maybe?

[Bent Ramrod]

They were Ideal tong tools. The differences between them and the standard Ideals were that sometimes they were “upside-down,” compared to the Ideals. When held with the sprue plate up, the loading chamber would project to the right, instead of the left. Some of them had “STEVENS ARMS” stamped on the sprue plate, but they also had the Ideal markings in the usual positions.
