Steve
Look closely at the pic of the action bar.
It was made in Ohio:  Thackery, OH

A very handy press for neck sizing, seating bullets.
Lyman 5/8" dies are used with it and they are very available
on E Bay
I have a cigar box of the dies, sitting just behind and to the
right of the press

Does it use regular shell holders?

Could that be the first "turret head" press?

It could be the first turret press or maybe the second behind 
the lyman Tru Line Jr

gmkmd
the press does not take "std" shellholders.
It takes the same shellholder as the Lyman Tru Line Jr
I have seen adaptors, though to use the std shellholders

Thanks to CC's grandson, I have read the top of the post 
and determined that this press was 
#142 in production and built in 45  aka  1945

To all who sent me a PM about the 310 dies, I need to inventory
them and post.  I could work a deal with the dies along with the press.
