Hello everyone,  I currently have a trade in progress with another member on this site.

Thank you to everyone who assisted in the search and the conversation you all helped generate about the details of the plates.

Greetings,

Again, not a Star plate.

It "might" be a Phelps plate; but, looks rather rough.

Caveat Emptor....

Cheers,

Greetings,

Yours are not necessarily junk.

Just check the critical dimensions prior to use.

I have not seen any finished Berdon plates and they may be case hardened.

Cheers,

Dave

Berdon shell plates are not hardened and they are pretty sloppy too.    I have several of the machines as well as some parts.   None of the shell plates I have encountered are hardened.   I have a Berdon 9MM shell plate, but I wouldn't trust it to hold a 9MM case.   The sizing die would probably pull the case right through the shell plate.   I recently sold a Berdon 223 shell plate that worked better for 9MM than 223.   I sold it as a stop gap until I have new 9MM shell plates.

Could anyone talk about the angle spacing of the features of the shell plate?

The 9 mm plate seems soft as the corners have gouges from use.  The 223 plate seems harder with no gouges.  I have 11 star machines and love them when I can find time to load. Have 9 mm, 40 s$w, 38 special 357 magnum 45 acp 38:super and 44 magnum all set up can’t remember who it was on here in the past that used to make beautiful star dies I bought numerous dies for the machines   Best thing is over the years have purchased tons of spare star parts. When I kick the bucket my son will have one hell of a yard sale.
