Vintage Schmidt Reloading Tool

Description: C. V. Schmidt Model 12 Reloading Press. This was reviewed circa 1937 by Philip B.l Sharpe in his 'Complete Guide to Handloading. Phil met 'Connie' Schmidt at the National Matches and was so impressed that he bought one of his presses. I believe the patent dates are in the late 20's. This press resizes, decaps, and neck expands in one operation. It also has automatic primer feed, using rectangular primer feed tubes much like the Bonanza priming tool. Most contemporary tools required separate steps for each operation, and required the user to handle each primer separately. It was thus both faster and more precise than it's competitors. Seating is also straight-line by mounting the seater die in the pivoting holder that previously held the sizer die. The seater is easily misplaced, and thus is frequently missing. This tool is complete except for primer feed tube(s). Feed tubes for the Bonanza priming tool are very similar, and just a bit too fat to fit. They may possibly will fit it carefully filed down on the open end to fit the guide on this tool. Think about it: automatic primer feed and guided straight line seating; almost a hundred years ago! This model was featured in the most recent issue of the journal of ARTCA, the Antique Reloading Tool Collector's Association. They believe this is the FIRST tool ever to feature autamatic p;rimer feed. Too big for a USPS Flat Rate Priority box, so this will go UPS ground, and cost will depend on your address. Handle will e removed for shipping to save cost. UPS charges by weight AND dimensions. Ebay's calculated shipping cost may be optimistic. I just had a UPS shipment at about three times what Ebay charged the buyer. Ebay gets a UPS discount, but I don't think it is 2/3 off.
