RCBS A Series Presses, Pre Rock Chucker

[glhc46]

Through a lot of luck I now have all but 2 of the A series presses. Thank you IllinoisCoyoteHunter for your help! I am still missing the 1948-1951 Pre-A series press and the later version A2 that was made of cast iron and had no bushing. I believe I have the hardest or near impossible presses found though.
Shown in this picture from left to right is the welded pre-A, 1951-1956 Pre-A, A, 2A, Cast Steel A2, A3, A4 (Technically much later and not really an A series), and B.

I'm green with envy..... The only RCBS presses I have are a JR3 and a Rock Chucker with the screw in bushing. I keep my eyes open as you never know what might pop up.

With all that iron on the bench it's a wonder the house doesn't turn over.[smilie=l:

Thanks everyone. I started collecting just to add a couple neat presses to the bench. Then I got fascinated by the history and the hunt to find them.

That’s awesome! Plans to collect anymore?

I hope to finish the A series out with the final 2. I am always keeping an eye out for unique old presses or equipment. I have some other presses and items as well, this set is by far the most complete.
