These tools are from my father's old stuff and are marked Winchester. I suspect they are for loading lever gun ammo since they have markings for lever gun calibers like 45 government. Am I right? Since I don't have any old lever guns I would like to sell them. Anyone out there know what they could be worth?
What are these tools used for?

hard to make out in the small pics, but looks like some bullet molds, , (2 on the left are molds, should be marked somewhere on the side)
bottom right is a combo mold and either seater or decap/cap for primer, (or all of the above)
and the rest are loaders,
any markings on the tools? -
Thanks, that is a good idea.

When I was in high school I found a 45-70 tong tool and my friend had his grandfather's Springfield 1873 carbine. We cast the 405gr
bullets, sized them and loaded them in the tong tool. This tool would deprime and prime the 45-70 case. We used black powder, it was
an easy operation to load 45-70, we cleaned the cases in hot waterComment
