Lee Loaders collectible?
 

Actually I’ve had some folks come in the shop looking for those things and seen several people looking for them on a couple forums . Might be something to do with having them in their “Bug Out Bag” :whistle:

Those bug out bags must weigh a lot if they are taking components with them for the old hand loader lol.

Very true ! One bag of shot would be more weight than I’d care for !

That is what I started loading with. What a chore to load a box of shells but they went bang.

Just curious. Would a vintage .410 Lee Loader have any value?

Based on the price above I’d say yes . About 18 months ago Ida said $10-15 $20 tops .

If you look at the completed auctions on Ebay you will see the 410 3" "vintage" Lee Loaders sell for over $100 plus shipping with many if not most falling into the $150 to $200 range. If it's complete with instructions and charge table it brings the most money. I don't understand it myself but there is a clearly a hot market for them at this time.

I've got one for 12, 10, and 45/70. They sure ain't worth over a hundred each to me. People have got rocks in their heads. [ Did my dad use to say that ? ]

JB, first post. I'm amazed too, luckily I have like all variations short thr 3 inch shell versions. Loaded my first 410 loads with one. Bugout stuff, but why not just load shells before hand. Collectors?...for this. Better hammer reloaders available, check YouTube. A guy sells a "survival" type reloader that looks a step up from the lee. I dont get it either.
