    Herter's What Is It?

    Got this with a bunch of Herter's Reloading Stuff. What is it? Best guesses?

    I can’t tell without more pictures, but at first guess, I’d say it could be some sort of bullet lube pump(?)

    It’s Herter’s knockoff of the Pacific boolit sizer-luber. Worked sort of like the modern Lee, mounted on your reloading press with a plunger rod in the shell holder, except you turned the knob on the reservoir to grease the boolits as you sized them instead of having to pre-lube them.

    Thank you. Now to figure out what to do with it. Keep & display or sell it. For now it makes a good paperweight.

    Wow that's cool! I didn't know that there was ever anything like that. A table top lube sizer. Thank you for sharing, and thank you Bent Ramrod for sharing what it is.

    Cool! I thought I was the only guy who had one of those. Is that all complete?
