Description

A substantial collection of twenty RCBS reloading accessories and components manufactured by RCBS, Inc. of Oroville, California. The lot primarily consists of sixteen used molded plastic accessories, predominantly in the characteristic RCBS green color. Included are various models of primer trays and case lube pad containers. Specific markings visible across the collection include “RCBS Precisioneered,” “RCBS Inc. Oroville, California 95965,” and the patent number “U.S. Pat. No. 3,810,698,” which dates the design of several primer trays to the mid-1970s. The accessories include multiple “Primer Tray,” “Primer Tray-2,” and “Case Lube Pad” marked containers. One tray is molded in orange plastic, and one is a hinged black plastic design. The lot also features a small, aged cardboard box marked “Every Reloader needs an Auto-Prime,” containing four loose metal and plastic components suggesting a partial RCBS Universal Hand Priming Tool kit, including a large metal die or loading part, a chrome-plated tool handle, and two black plastic levers. Several items bear handwritten notations such as “Small Pistol” and “Cases,” providing insight into their previous use.
