I, too, have a set like this. They must have sold a lot of them as the old roll crimpers show up at antique sales all the time. I do not have the wooden decapper, knob for it, base for it or the ring in the upper right of the picture. What was it (the ring which looks like brass) used for, Miller?
I load all my 2 7/8" tens with hand tools like this and easily turn out plenty production to suit me. After using my progressive MEC on regular 12's it is kind of fun to slow down and load some tens occasionally the old way.
