Herters never made anything. They would copy other companies designs, re-brand it and outsource production to the lowest bidder. They did this not only with reloading tools but practically everything thing else they sold ie. fishing gear, camping supplies etc. In essence, Herters was the Harbor Freight of sporting goods back in the ‘50s and ‘60s. It was strictly a mail order business that went bankrupt in the early ‘70s. But some of the original Herters branded tooling wasn’t bad, it just depended on who actually made it.
Cabelas bought the naming rights for whatever reason.
That‘s true for MOST of their products.
However, a lot of their reloading equipment was their own. Especially their presses.
They had their presses casted either locally or semi locally.
In fact, it was Wells that copied the Super 3 as their own.
I have most of the Herter’s presses and can’t think of any that they may have copied Except for one, and that was the Model 9 H press.
The number 9 press was an H style that closely resembled the Dunbar, which may be the reason it was only made for two years. It appeared in the 1954 and 1955 catalog and then discontinued.
Do the research and will see that most of their presses were very unique and unlike any others. Like the 234 Turret, the Model 81 double ram, the Super O, The Super U. All very distinct presses.
I can’t get to my presses for pics right now, I’ve got a hurt foot and cant unbury them from the shed and shop.
Here are a few internet pics.
