Lot 569:
Description
This lot consists of a collection of five reloading tools and accessories primarily for ammunition preparation. Included is one RCBS Little Dandy pistol powder measure featuring a translucent green reservoir and a hammer-tone green cast metal body. Accompanying the measure is a collection of fourteen interchangeable black metal powder rotors organized into two green plastic storage cases, with one case containing nine rotors and the second containing five. The group also features a grey hand-held priming tool with various small components housed in its original red and tan cardboard box. Completing the lot is a Redding Series A full-length resizing die for .30-06 Springfield, model number 91148, stored in its original lime green cardboard box. Key markings include the manufacturer and model designation on the powder measure body, REDDING 30-06 SPRINGFIELD engraved on the resizing die, and the manufacturer information REDDING-HUNTER INCORPORATED 1089 STARR ROAD CORTLAND, NEW YORK 13045 on the factory packaging.
Condition report:
The items show signs of age and regular use. The RCBS powder measure reservoir exhibits scuffing and tape residue, while the hammer-tone metal body remains largely intact. The fourteen steel rotors and the external threads of the Redding die display localized patches of light surface oxidation and minor rust spotting. The hand priming tool appears functional with expected surface wear. Cardboard packaging for the primer tool and the Redding die shows shelf wear, edge fraying, and minor staining. All components appear mechanically sound, though they have not been function-tested with live powder or components.
