Have you sold the bullet feeder?  I'd be very interested in buying it from you.

Thinking of one and wrote the other.

Thanks for the correction.

Green paint on a Star?
Thought that was a Phelps thing.

You might be thinking of CPM.  I have never seen a Phelps in anything but blue.

Greetings,

The plastic tubes may have been for the Hulme case feeder.

Cheers,

It's a very early machine.  There is a lighter green primer under the green paint, so I'm pretty sure the green is original.    I have another Star with a cast iron base and that one is Blue, but I can see traces of black paint under the blue on all three of the painted parts.   Black, like the picture from American Rifleman is what I would have expected for this time period.

Although according to the 1934 American Rifleman article the Universal model was available at that time, the Universal base on this machine is a later addition.   I can't tell if it was an original Universal with a newer Universal base or if it was originally a Progressive.

Notice that they have already moved away from the Pipe T used for the crankshaft assembly.

Could you post some pictures with your offer to sell so that many people can see the condition of all items to include your accessories, the bullet number on the mould blocks, and anything that you have available. The photos are helpful to potential buyers, me included.
Thanks/2150

I helped an acquaintance in the 80s (maybe early 90s) set his up, and when unpacking it, I recall 4 plastic primer tubes in a cardboard tube.
Do not recall if there were Brass as well. Also possible they could have been extras, or from another source?
The machine came from Gil Hebard.

I have a 'bunch' of the plastic which I got from an owner that had them left over after he sold his machine.
Would you like a few?
More than happy to send you some?

Kenn
