Mark, An interesting side note here on your new "turnover'. That is the exact style listed in Parker Bros. catalogs of the late 1800's. The only difference is that the ones's sold by Parker have no name on them at all.

Mark,
A fella at deer camp told me a nice trick a couple of weeks ago after rolling a few of those by hand he learned to sneak in the wife's stuff and take her hair dryer. Then he would heat the mouth of the hull just before rolling it and the hull would roll like butter and hold the crimp very nice after cooling down. I tried this trick and learned to set up a dozen or so shells and heat the mouths like this. It really did the trick... |

Dave, I always wondered about the various products listed by Parker and Winchester in their catalogs. Did they actually 'tool up' to manufacture the items, or have someone else make them with their name on them? WRA Co's 1928 hardware catalog is very extensive. I would think that a whole new factory would have been built just to make the hardware and other items.

Keith, that sounds like an interesting idea. I plan on using a 'no-name' roller when I start loading short tens!

Mark, We know that many of the loading tools that Parker Bros. sold were made by other companys and marketed by Parker. Some items such as shot dippers,barclay loaders and cappers had Parker Bros. cast or stamped on them. Some other items such as combination tools simply were shipped in box's with the Parker Bros. label on them. There is a great chapter on this subject in the "Parker Story"

Mark,
Great buy! That looks similar to one I picked up about 2 years ago. What is the model number on the handle? Does the screw driver slotted piece in the middle of the handle have a spike on the bottom where it would hit the brass on the hull? Let us know when you get the cleaning rod Jack Kuzepski |
