    Mystery primer catcher cup

    Umpteen dozen years ago, I got a primer catcher cup that is finished in Black Crackle Textured Paint. Does anyone have any ideas about maker? Who used that color back in the day? I don't even remember what press I was buying it to fit! Thanks in advance for any answers forthcoming! Tom

    Without seeing a picture and assuming that since it is painted it is not plastic, my first guess is that it could be a C-H. I had one for the C press and it was held in place by an aluminum clip that fit over the part of the C closest to the operator and slipped down over the inside of the rear part of the bowl.
    Some times it's the pot,
    Some times it's the pan,
    It might even be the skillet,
    But, most of the time, it's the cook.

    Black crackle textured paint....that's not a whole lot to ID with.
    I have a Eagle Cobra Press finished like that, CH , Hollywood and some Herter's were black crackle paint ... but, that's about all I can think of.

    The best to recommend something here is to see first the picture of the subject needs a recommendation. Please post even just a picture.

    Yes, I have a Texan with black crinkle finish
    Does the primer catcher resemble a Crossman pellet can?
