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.
Very impressive collection.

HOLLYWOOD CollectorLeft 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!
Pretty cool.
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.

My avatar is almost a dead ringer for my little buddy Chico. Six pounds of mean that thought he was a Pit Bull. Miss that little guy.
With all that iron on the bench it's a wonder the house doesn't turn over.

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.Originally Posted by Thebigbaby
You’re welcome! Your collection is coming together nicely!
