I've been given a load of old stock and came across these shell holders but I don't recognise the make or the press they go with.
If anyone wants them they're free to the first caller, I'd hate to throw them away as they'll only clutter up my workshop otherwise. 
These ones are numbered 1, 11, 12 (fits 223), 13 and 19 
These are threaded (not sure what yet as I've not measured it) and marked L (3 off) and H Neither size fits 223 or 308 cases. |

I'm not sure, but the first thing I could think of was Wamadet

100% The first ones are from a Lyman All American press mate.
This is one fitted to the press with the lock grub scre in place 
Originally press shell holders were not standadised so diffrent presses took difrent shell holders. It was a pain and I think mid to late 70's they standadised them across the market. Im a bit of a press geek myself. Got 15 presses in my collection at the moment. Had to thin it down from 25 as the muisses wasnt happy with them all over the place Not really much use as anyone with a All American press can get a modern shell holder adapter online for arround $10 to $15 Just checked with a friedn who also collect presses the All american shell holders will fit the Wamdet press |

Thanks guys.
So, now we know what they are from, anyone want them? They're free! I hate to scrap anything that looks even slightly useful ETA: I also have a 1 gallon can of powder (indeterminate make) that has written on it in pen on masking tape (sound familiar?) a load for .38spl. Anyone want that? 
Even better, a 1lb tub full of "mixed powder". Fire starter material I think. |
