Vintage 12 Ga Shotgun RELOADING EQUIPMENT 5 Ammo Tools!

Vintage 12 Ga Shotgun RELOADING EQUIPMENT 5 Ammo Tools! - eBay (item 310051643802 end time May-22-08 20:54:06 PDT)

This collection of reloading equipment includes five vintage tools for shot shell loading. I know one is a powder measure, two could be crucibles, and I'm sure you know what the others are.

The one that looks like a shotgun shell is marked, "12 Ga. Made in U.S.A." The powder measure is marked Shot Oz. from 1/8 to 2 1/4, Powder Drams from 2 1/2 to 5. The other tools have no markings.

Vintage 1982 PIRATED ET EXTRA TERRESTRIAL Knockoff NIP!

Vintage 1982 PIRATED ET EXTRA TERRESTRIAL Knockoff NIP! - eBay (item 310051625134 end time May-22-08 18:56:15 PDT)

This vintage pirated ET figure is called, "The Visitor from Outer Space." The card also says, "Ages 3 & Up. ©J.A.R. Sales Inc. 1982, 4X6, No. 904, Made in Hong Kong."

The likeness of ET The Extraterrestrial is quite good, but there's no mention of Steven Spielberg, no money paid to him for the rights to produce this figure. It's still new in package, in a bubble on the original card.

Vintage Adjustable Steel ICE TONGS Tote Icebox Blocks!

Vintage Adjustable Steel ICE TONGS Tote Icebox Blocks! - eBay (item 310051609871 end time May-22-08 17:31:31 PDT)

This vintage ice tongs was for toting smaller blocks of ice back when people had ice boxes instead of electric refrigerators. It looks adjustable with a lever on one side and a turning lock like a window latch on the other side. There's a spring to help keep the grippers tight on the block.

It looks like it was a silvery metal before the patina developed, maybe steel. I see no maker's mark.
