What do I have?

[WThunter]

I bought my reloading equipment from a lady whose husband died. She only charged me $100 for all the stuff. She said she knew it is worth more than that but she just wanted someone to have it and enjoy it the way her husband did. I tried to add up as much as I could and it came out to about $500 worth of stuff at least. I am very greatful to her.

Anyway one of the single stage presses is a blue C shaped press with a "P" on it. It doesn't have any name on it so I don't know what brand it is. Does anyone have an idea about what I have?

By the way I do enjoy loading. It requires a great deal of focus and concentration. Two thing that actually help me relax.

Thanks for your help.

I think, but not positive, it may be a Pacific Press. Good luck.

Bingo.....Pacific.

Pacific was bought out by Hornady many years ago and pre-Hornady days the presses was painted blue and available in a "C" and a super "C" model. I still have the one I bought over 40 years ago.

Thanks. It seems to be a good press. It gets the job done for me. Do they have any collectors value to them?
