Ideal .32 Crimping Tool

Print Post  
Going through more of my Old Dad's collection of loading tools (mother moving to a smaller place and need to sell off quite a few things). I have an Ideal Manufacturing .32 adjustable crimping tool. Unfortunately, I can not find a description in any of my reference material as to the model. Can any of your learned folk help? Also any idea of US $ value (out here in Aus, but it will give me an idea) Thanks in advance
Steve

Id cut fingers off before I would squeeze that shut on any of my 32 Ideal brass!  Shocked. It sure would be a cool accessory in a cased rifle set.

These are for loading round ball loads. I have one. You put in dimples to stop balls from falling into case. Multiple arbors were available. moodyholler

Ballards may be weaker,
but they sure are neater!

The Ideal Shell Indenter was designed to put the indent into cases that people used to set bullet depth. Not something most people want to do today, but they are collectible tools.
I have one in my tool collection I bought at a local gun show here maybe 6-7 years ago. It's pristine, and I paid $40 for it. They're probably worth $60-$75 today, depending on condition.
