Who made/What is it? CH Rivet Press?

[zoggynog]

So I am helping a buddy clean out his late father's storage shed and I find this "rivet press". He has no use for it and gifts it to me. Cool guy.

I'm trying to figure out who made it, how to use it, what's missing, and if something is...how to find parts.

It is made in the USA by a company "CH" The C circles around the H in the logo. Is this C.H. Hanson?

The top parts say "Speed Sealers"

That is for hand loading ammunition. The pieces on top are the dies for a specific cartridge. These are very good, sturdy presses.

Does it say Sealer or Seaters?

You guys are awesome. Thanks Larry!

Completely makes sense in context.

Bierisch, they could very easily read "Seaters". My eye's aren't what they used to be.

Going to go dig around now that I know what I'm looking at.

Look up the "cast boolet" forum. There is a great amount of knowledge there on vintage hand loading equipment.
