Does an Ideal 310 tong tool count? Some of my Lee Loader sets are getting old, too.
I have some old dies and tools from Lyman, Forster, and Herter, including one "universal" neck sizer, that uses interchangeable bushings for different calibers.
My brother and I inherited some interesting stuff from Dad, and still use it.

Re: A bit of history
My turn....My turn.....!!!
I have three old ( Relatively speaking ) reloading presses.
One is the Herters Shot Shell Press, its like a tank...Very heavy. The top and bottom plate are made if 1/2" steel and are about 4" square. ( dies are attached to it ).
And its all there and works..Has the 2 way shot/powder dispenser. Looks like a giant Uniflow powder dispenser, but move handle one way for powder, the other way for shot.
( I did not take these pics...found them online. )
Another one is a Herters single stage press, it also is very heavy but not as bad. I still use it for doing single stage stuff????
And it just looks cool
Last is an old Pacific DL-150 shot shell press that also works and has all the parts. I took it apart several months ago to rebuild it...Was used a lot and needed a lot of TLC....It will look fine whenever I finish it...?
I try to pick up old reloading items when I find them.
There are several little items too...But I'm sure I'd just get carried away...AGAIN....!!
Oh..Use to have several old reloading manuals, still have most..Use to have the 1st edition of Lymans manual. In great shape. Think I still have 2 - 4 ?????
I really like looking through old manuals......
