Description

This lot features two heavy-duty cast metal accessory stands manufactured by RCBS, a premier name in precision reloading equipment. These stands are designed to elevate a powder measure above the reloading bench, providing sufficient clearance for shell holders and loading blocks. Both units are constructed from solid cast iron or similar heavy alloy. The left stand features a smooth, matte green finish characteristic of mid-century RCBS production, while the right stand displays a darker, textured hammer-tone green finish associated with later manufacturing runs. Each unit features the RCBS brand name cast in relief on the vertical support arm, with the hammer-tone version including a registered trademark symbol. The bases are rectangular with a centered notch for secure bench mounting. The overhanging arms terminate in a circular aperture designed to accommodate standard 7/8 inch by 14 threaded powder measures, such as the RCBS Uniflow. Measurements: Approximately 7 to 8 inches in height.
