Lyman Ideal 310 Hand-Operated Reloading Tool with Eight Die Components and Original Box
Sold for: $60
Description
Lyman Ideal 310 Hand-Operated Reloading Tool, manufactured by Lyman Gun Sight Corp. of Middlefield, Connecticut, U.S.A. This lot includes the vintage cast metal hand press, the original orange cardboard packaging, and a collection of eight associated steel die components. The tool is designed for reloading metallic cartridges. The hand press features visible manufacturer markings: MIDDLEFIELD CONN. U.S.A. and an additional marking CCJAP on the handle, possibly an inspector mark or user identification. The eight included die components feature aggressive knurling and appear to be a mixture of sizing, seating, and crimping dies, though specific caliber identification is not possible due to wear and lack of legible markings. Two of the components retain remnants of red identification bands. The original box is labeled Lyman IDEAL 310 Tool Complete with Dies for Reloading Metallic Cartridges.
Condition report:
The components themselves are copper-jacketed projectiles appearing unused and in excellent, bright condition with no visible corrosion or damage. The packaging is vintage, showing significant signs of age, including fading, creasing, tape repairs, and wear consistent with long-term storage. The boxes retain their original labels and pricing stickers, which exhibit discoloration and peeling.
