Very similar to the Sinclair/L.E. Wilson.

Wilson case trimmer.
The extension on the left is the micrometer adjustment.
The red part with the clamp holds the trimmer base and holds the case holder down to the trimmer. I think it's aftermarket and not Wilson made.
They're still some of the best trimmers and that one's got all the bells and whistles.
Most popular case trimmers now index off the case shoulder, so OAL of the case is uniform to the degree the location of the case shoulder is uniform. These index off the case base, so the OAL is identical for all trimmed cases regardless of the shoulder location.
The only drawback is each cartridge family requires a different case insert, and new cases require a different case insert than fired cases which are dimensionally larger from firing and resizing. Not generally a problem, and other case trimmers also require case specific parts too.
Value with the base and micrometer might be $125-150. They're $200 new.

I’m interested in it just cause it’s an old one. I have a new one and all the case holders to go with it.
Send me a PM……

I HAD ALSO FOUND A WILSON CASE TRIMMER BOX WITH SOME PARTS THAT I NOW KNOW GO TOGETHER WITH THE "CONTRAPTION".

The current production ones have the tension mechanism called "the sharkfin" and it works well.

I also have one of the new ones and love that thing because I am fussy and want $&!@ to turn out consistent and straight. These do that well.

Hey! It's Ken! There was an old HHI a while back that had Mark, Ken, and John all in the same issue. Good stuff.
