    That's a fine looking press and rare. Can you pull the pin that holds the primer catcher to remove it? Mr. Dillon must have liked that color ;^)
    HOLLYWOOD Collector Left hawg 405#, right one 315#, had my elderly neighbors granddaughter treed and why I got the call. Both charged, one from 20' and one from 40'. Thanks to the good Lord and Samuel Colt I won. May God bless our Lawmen & Soldiers!

    It may just be the picture but I'm surprised they didn't clean up the casting a little more before painting (sharp edges and fill holes).

    Lachmiller was a good outfit, they made some excellent dies. It's a shame they went under.

    Actually Lachmiller did Not Go under. RCBS made them an Offer They could not Refuse.. Lachmiller sold all his patents and designs to Rcbs . Lachmiller sold most of the remaining Inventory to Penguin Industries Glendale Ca. Then Penguin Industries. Coatesville, PA. Penguin Is still in business @ the same location but not in reloading

    The Hollywood in the picture is an very early Senior press. I moved it to fit the Powerhouse in place. Just running out of room
