1970's Lyman Kit

[Vly]

I picked this up recently, as whenever I find reloading gear in need of a good home it seems to follow me home. [smilie=l: This one is unusual in the condition is like it was in 1970-something when it was newly purchased. It is as-new and unused.

Clues to the date are the Lyman 45th Edition reloading manual, and the color of the Spar T press. This one is grey - the color went back to orange around 1978.

Check out the little time capsule from the '70's.

That is so cool. Everything you need to load. What are you going to do with it?

Excellent question! I was drawn to it like a moth to a flame. :) It needs to be in the hands of a collector. I am a mere accumulator. ;-) If it stays with me too long I will get that turret press humming along.

Put me in line for adding it to my collection of old reloading stuff. I would give it a nice spot in a glass cabinet just so it doesnt get used or beat up. That definatly needs to be preserved like it is.:drinks:

I wonder if Lyman would be interested in it.

..............Could be, but they don't really seem interested in anything of the past.
