Green Star? Reloader on eBay
« on: February 09, 2006, 05:51:42 am »
Has anyone seen the Green "Star" Reloader on eBay?   Looks more like a Phelps to me,  or possibly a Berdon.   The shape of the aluminum base is not quite right.   It also has 7/8" dies, but that doesn't prevent it from being a Star.  Here is the link;

I would also be very suprised if that is a Star press. I thought the same thing about the base. The lifting arms also looked to big. Someone will be in for a surprise.

I looked at a Phelps that I have and it has the same thick base.  I also noticed the silverish looking metal on the side of the base and one the crankshaft--doesn't look like something Star ever did.  The dies are also 7/8 which Star did occasionally but probably never in 45 acp as their dies were superior to anything else available then (or now).

CPM's were green like this.  This doesn't look like the CPM I owned but it might be an earlier model.  I asked this seller why he thought that it was a Star.  He just assumed that it was.
