Ya that's what I figured, think I seen some old press sets with them. I may convert it to prime the brass shot shells I use.
It's linkage is similar to Lee hand primers, all there stuff I've seen to has lee somewhere on it.
Only thing I see it the C on the shellholder
Yup that looks like it, wounder if there's any shellholders floating around somewhere. If does work nice.

Richard Lee is who started Lee Precision. I wonder what these primer tools are worth.
thanks I see the tool with 4 holder for $14 bid. I am very surprised how easy this thing seats primers. Make my newer Lee look like a pos and it needs two thumbs to prime.
Got to put the primer in the hole, so not a high volume primer. Would be nice for a portable reloading set.
Yes the old Lee round tray were very nice, I had two but they were the things I lost in the 2011 flood. I do need a new prime tool, this Lee worked but was always hard to push. I'd like to try the Lee bench prime to.
I had one of those Lee priming devices before the thumb lever broke off. It was unmarked and had no identifying information.
I bought one. The inner workings which move the next primer to the insertion point are cast plastic and jammed up to the point where I had to destroy it to get it out. Turns out Lee makes - and SELLS - replacement components. Soured me on the device. I must say in fairness, when they work, they do pretty well. Takes the same 'flat' shell holder as the handheld type.
