Fitz or anyone else out there:
I have found two lube sizers that, like the Star, were push-through, the Meepos is fairly often found, but now I have a GO-WAD from Mill Valley California that no one around here seems to know about. It is much better built than the Meepos and heavier.
Star persisted while these two died out.
Stephanie Witt at the Mill Valley Historical Society deletes my inquiries unread.
Can anyone point me to anything about the company, dates, literature, advertisements - anything?
I've been perusing 1954
American Rifleman magazines hoping to find an ad or Dope Bag note on the tool. Did GO-WAD make shotshell tools?
I hope someone can shine a light for me.
Cheers from Darkest California,
Ross

Ross I was the Saeco Distributor then but the biggest part of my sales being an Officer- Competitor was supplying volume reloading competitors with the California Saeco molds and the Saeco luber took a back seat to my Star luber sales.

The Star is still the best and I sold my last new ones last year and used ones are now E-Baying for more than I sold my new ones. You can't compete with quality like that and I still carry both Saeco and Star luber dies and top punches.

I would suggest contacting the NRA and other shooting publications to locate any printed articles regarding your quest.

I have catalogs from Star, CPM, Cougar&Hunter, Brewster, Lifetyme and Wemco-Williams Tools and make your desires known on all the lists so something can be found.

Locateold magazines and gun digests at shooting ranges and gun shows and look for old timers to ask.
