Lot 593:
A Group of Vintage Reloading Press Components, Patented 1933
Sold for: $10
Description
A group of vintage reloading press components, likely for a shot shell press. The C-clamp-like component is clearly marked ‘PACIFIC’ and ‘PATENT 1933940’, dating the design to 1933. The main press body bears ‘PAT PEND’ and partially legible text ‘MEISTERSC…’ (possibly ‘MEISTER’) along with the number ’12’, suggesting a 12 gauge application. These heavy-duty mechanical components are constructed from robust cast iron and polished steel, displaying a utilitarian design typical of early-to-mid 20th-century machinery.
Condition report:
Overall condition is consistent with age and use. Prominent surface rust, oxidation, grime, and wear are visible across the metal surfaces. One smaller component is protected by clear plastic wrapping. The components appear to be incomplete for a fully assembled press and are offered as found.
