Moving some stuff around today and I came across some old tools I forgot I had. I was wondering if there was any value to them or just old tools

Top middle is a 12 ga roll crimper. No name on it.
Below it an adjustable powder or shot measure. One side is marked oz shot and the other powder drams. Made by RG&M Co.
Below it is a shot measure adjustable for 1 1/4 or 1 1/2 oz Dixon and son marked on it.
Left side i a pumpkin ball mould there is a 17 stamped on one handle so I imagine it is for a 16 ga shotgun. No name on it
Right hand side is a 12 primer seater no name on it.
 
Worth a little but not too much. I sold off my extra stuff some shown here for like 75 shipped on the EE so you can use that as a guide. There was not a large group of guys beating down my door for it. The 10ga crimper was the main seller in my batch
Cheers

The shotshell loading tools would be useful to someone making up blackpowder loads. Would work with any length shells, 2 3/4, 2 5/8, 2 1/2.
I think at $30, they'd sell.
The Dixon flask head is on a wad guide. It alone would be of interest to install on a flask.
 
To the Op Just to add I sold off mine since they were extras. They are a nice keep sake also to show new reloaders how it was and would look good framed under glass in your reloading area :)
Cheers
 
tiriaq thanks for the info. I see now how that works. I removed the wad guide from flask head. I had no idea as that is how it was when my uncle gave them to me many moons ago. From what I can see so far, for the low dollar value it is hardly worth my time to sell them. I don't like to put something on the EE at an unreasonable price just to have them sit there. I guess I wasn't sitting on a gold mine, just a small nugget.
 
I don't know what the mould would be worth. Would be more useful if it is serviceable. $25?
I would list the whole lot in the EE for $60 delivered (Postage would be $15 - $20.
Good items to put on a table at a show.
 
At $60 I'll just put them back where I found them and let my son figure out what to do with them when I'm gone. lol 3macs1 not a bad idea. Who knows maybe a winter project to frame up and hang on the wall under glass. Time will tell. Thanks everyone for the info.

Yep I am sorry now I did not do that with my extras for what I got for them
The ones I still have now I use some of it believe it or not the odd time when doing some of the vintage hulls but when that is done they will get framed
Cheers
 
Quite a few people are using old shotshell reloading tools in Saskatchewan and Alberta among the Black Powder crowd. They always sell, but not for big dollars. Always more demand for roll crimpers (10, 16, 20 gauge) other than the common 12 gauge, which you see everywhere. About the most a roll crimper brings is $20 unless it is one of the elaborate combination tools.
