Joe, I don't know who made them, however your appear to be made in the early 1950's based on the lack of finish and style. I have several other dies from that period all with the same style.

They are molded in and are a staple of nearly all Herter's powder measures.

That is a very rare Herter’s Model 39 measure in the 234 turret press mount.
The Model 39 is commonly seen, but almost never in this mount.
The 39 is a very nice measure for handgun and small...

Thanks USCRA112, I can easily find one, I think I may even have a junk Model 60 around here.

Yes, that is exactly how it works. The design was pioneered by Belding & Mull nearly 100 years ago. Herter's, Redding and Pacific were the only companies who tried to make a B&M comparable measure...

It's all about balance. Presses that have the handle staying up generally have a lighter handle. You could try hanging a 1 pound lead ingot from the bottom of the ram link pin.

Sal has a good idea to call Redding, the cap is the same for all Redding measures, even if you get a green one.
Tube diameter is .7495" outside, .6220" inside, 2.25" long, piston thread is common...

It is larger than B&M, I won't have time till after church to get the actual size and picture.
Forum: Reloading Equipment
You need a cast iron cap and the adjustable drop tube. It is the same system as the Belding and Mull. This was not a popular measure and few were sold, finding that tube may be akin to finding a...

As the owner/caretaker of several Herter's presses I make a wire hook from #9 wire. One end around the handle and the other around the primer arm. Make it loose enough so you can slip it off easily.
It is a large rivet made to very close tolerance. You cannot grind it off and make a new one that is a close match to the original. Attempting to do so will zero out the value of your handles. ...

I picked up a 1000 rounds of the stuff last winter, still have 500+ left. It shot ok in everything I tried it in on the indoor range. The main issue I have with it is hard brass, it takes a strong...

Frosty Boolit, you have got to have a cast iron stomach. The acid in that stuff would have me in the hospital. I like my coffee strong, and black but it must be low acid.

No Ben Franklin's will be harmed from my Black Friday shopping. It's easier to stay home and work, even if the weather is nice outside.

I picked up a set of Bystrom rifle dies at my local gun shop in their junk room, along with several other rare treasures. The caliber marking on this seater die is unusual. Any ideas?

Link above is a great read on 300-400 Fud-Ex packages recently found in a ravine in Georgia.
Pictures would really help here. I have a suspicion that there are some early Ideal tools, pre-dating the 310. Pictures would help ID what you have.

The search feature allows you to select how you want the search to function. I searched by last name and found my great grandfather on the 1st attempt. He was in the Illinois 76th Regiment.
The answer is no, none of the fixed rotor measures have rotors that will interchange with any other brand.

I don't have any experience sourcing older peep sights, but I need a couple. I would think the Williams front sight would work well in this application, and you have parts.

DDriller, your story is hilarious, and so true for the many clever ways to make a new problem where there was none previously.

2152hq, that is good information, thank you. It will save me a lot of time reading old Lyman sight catalogs. The tiny notch in the original rear sight is just not compatible with my eyes.

Pistol cases are easier to resize than rifle brass. 30-30 is putting a strain on those front die stations. It's OK now, but at some point don't be surprised if the sizer die breaks off.
