Roll Crimp Machine

[Larryjk]

I have two machines for placing the old roll crimp on 10 gauge and 12 gauge paper shells. Where can I find information on these? What is their value?
:D

What is the brand on the crimpers? If you have what I think you do they are very common and worth very little. If they are a couple of British made ones..they will be worth a bit more to the very esoteric collector. I have 3 or 4 of the older US made ones too. They work ok on paper shells. I also have the Lyman roll crimpers that you put in a drill or drill press and they do work just fine..even on plastic at slower speeds.

Skeet, I know what the drill press type are like. These have no markings whatsoever, except the one has "10" on it. I don't have any idea who made them. They are the type that clamp on the edge of a workbench or table and you stick the shell in the guide and up against the roller. There is a lever to puch on the head of the shell and keep it from turning. I don't think these will work on anything except paper cases.
