Star Lubricator & Resizers / Re: *** HELP *** IS THIS A STAR LUBE SIZER
« on: February 09, 2013, 03:28:52 pm »
When I first got this press I quickly checked the parts with a magnet. The magnet stuck to everything but the lube tube cap.
Witch I figured out was brass or bronze. The lube tube itself just didn't have the right color to be steel but the magnet stuck to it.
So I assumed it was steel. This morning I got my magnet out again & did some checking on the lube tube again. Turns out the lube tube is not steel it is brass or maybe copper. The magnet was attracted to what ever is inside the lube tube. Maybe this will help someone figure out who made this press.

I posted this on castbullits also. Someone on that forum said he thinks it might have been made by a company called "Meepos"
I had never heard of that company...So I'm going to start researching Meepos & see what I can find...

Star Lubricator & Resizers / *** HELP *** IS THIS A STAR LUBE SIZER
« on: February 08, 2013, 07:41:05 am »
I recently found this vintage bullet sizer/lube press at an estate sale.
I can not find a company name or marking of any kind to identify or date this vintage reloading tool.
The body is all cast iron , with machined steel parts , the lube tube cap is cast brass or bronze
The lube tube looks brass but a magnet sticks to it ?
This press looks to be in good operating condition with no broken or missing parts
The die in it is not marked , I believe it is a .38 cal die
Here are some photos I look forward to hearing your opinion on this vintage reloading tool

I really value your opinion & knowledge about these machines & I thank you for helping me.
I'm just trying to get to the bottom of this.
I found the thread "Old Star Lubrisizer" . That one has the BRONZE Fulcrum Bracket , & the curved Fulcrum Lever...
But it has a PATENT NUMBER on a small base & no Brass tag....
I have seen the brass tag on a old star press ,But I haven't seen one on a Lubrisizer
What I haven't seen is the LARGE rectangle shaped base with PAT PEND & BRASS TAG
I'm not trying to be a hard nose about this ... I'm just going by what Bill , The old star employee told me...
He said he thinks this is the prototype that was on display in the office at star in the 1950's.

« on: October 11, 2012, 02:52:40 pm »
I have an old Star lube/sizer ,it has some parts that I cant find on other star lube/sizers I have found on this site & the interweb.
I want your opinion on what I have.....This is for sale & I want to know exactly what it is so I can describe it correctly...
These are the parts that are different than others I have seen
Brass Tag riveted on the base that says "STAR MACHINE WORKS SAN DIEGO CALIF"
PAT PEND cast into to LARGE rectangular sand cast base ,
CAST IRON Lube tube cap
CAST IRON Crank Shaft Bearing Bracket
CAST IRON Bullet Punch Ram
BRONZE Fulcrum Lever Bracket
Curved Fulcrum Lever going to the lube pump plunger
I have talked to a guy that worked for STAR in the 1950's ,He siad this is the prototype that STAR used to get the patent for the lube/sizer back in 1934 / 1935. He said this is the one that was on display in the office for many years at STAR MACHINE WORKS...BUT others have contacted me & disagree that this is or might be the PROTOTYPE..
Look at these photos & PLEASE post your opinion....
This was found stored in a old building on the corner of 10th Ave & Broadway in San Diego.
Less than 6 blocks north of the old STAR MACHINE WORKS location at 418 10th Ave San Diego Calif.
