With some other vintage reloading items came this brass and wood [mostly broken off] tool. No maker's marks. Can anyone tell me more about it ? It is about 4 1/2" long.

Bill, the screw does look like that. Does the other end of the tool become a decapper ? Seems like the decapper "point" might need to be longer.

I think you could be right, Daryl. The first part looks like one I saw in England. Can't answer as to the second part but that would be logical. I did not find anything exactly like yours but see this example picture

Thanks, Montana, the original wood [missing mostly] looks like it was starting to flare out like one would do to make a handle to push on. It came with some Dixon items, but also a neat loader by Charles Green of Rochester.

Geno, do you mean the tool would be used to both push the wad into the hull and remove the wad, if necessary ?

Yeap. This screw is to remove the wad and when whole thing together - to push wad into the hull.

I'd bet it would not be that hard to make a new handle for it, Daryl.
