	Thanks Vall. Back when I started collecting antique reloading tools, it was easier to find the shotshell tools. The one is a B.G.I.Co. "Rapid" Machine Loader and the one with the brass hoppers is a "Hunters Safe & Rapid Cartridge Loading Machine". Made by the Geo, D. Hunter Co. of Chicago. Dale.

	After I referred to them as duplex measures I wondered if they might be shotshell measures for powder and shot. Still pretty cool, and not seen often these days!

	Well, now I know why it's hard to find old reloading stuff! Thanks for sharing your collections, it's great to see it all being kept so well. It's funny to see my German bayonet lurking in the background!

	Rodney going back to your post #16 and the bottom row to the right. Is that a Pope mould with the automatic sprue cut off feature. Could you also please provide any background that you might have on it.

	It is one of the copies that McLemore made back in the eighties serial #51. It came with 33 cal and a 32 caliber mold. I have since made several more 35cal, 40cal and 45 cal inserts. Tom Rowe wants to someone to make copies, because they are the best working molds made for speed and quality. I think it could be a pretty good job but as I have one of those, I will stay with what I do. Saying that I would build molds and make castings if some one wanted to tackle it!

	Thank you Rodney a few years back I would have jumped on your offer to make some castings. Unfortunately my mould making days are just about over but hopefully someone will take up your offer they should sell extremely well.

	I'd like to thank both Joe and Rodney for bringing this thread back to life earlier this year. I have been looking for a funnel for my Wilkinson measure for some time. Rodney posted Mr. Holters name and phone so I contacted him a few weeks ago. Great gentleman to visit with and just retired as a federal judge last year at 92. He had one reproduction funnel left and he decided to make a few more and he mailed me a new funnel and the drop tube. I'm very pleased to be able to complete my Wilkinson measure! I doubt I would ever find an original and this will work fine. Also as a side note, I was looking at Tom Rowe and Ed Curtis books on reloading tools and noticed he referred to the Wilkinson measure as the Wilkerson measure! Someone proofreading made a slight goof! Thanks guys! Richard
