Very nice. Hard to find a complete tool in such pristine condition. Much less, with the original cardboard packaging tube with instructions. I have a very clean 256 Tool with a tube, missing the depriming rod.

That is a nice collection, thanks for sharing.
How long have you had them? I have not looked into Newton ammo or bullets yet. I have 4 tools, I needed that many to get one complete tool, and no packaging.
I have 3 of the reloading tools, I think each of the others is missing parts. I have several of the 1916 Newton rifles too and a Newton catalog from early on, maybe 1915 or 16. I wouldn’t call my self a collector but I’ve accumulated some stuff. I like Newton and I think I’ve got a copy of each of the books written about him and his rifles.
I’ve picked up stuff here and there over 30 years probably.
Also own a shot out, 256 Newton takeoff barrel.
Cool Newton stuff.......my dad had a Newton in 30 Newton.
