Very Cool! Not sure of the date, maybe early 50's??????????? Late 40's????????????????? Look in the bottom corners of printed material, ie. manual, posters, etc. alot of time the print date is right there......1/51............A23/51, 51/AAA, Code-2-51...........something like that. Coogs.

Thanks Coogs,The box is marked 38S&W.. But come with a 311334 mould. I now have three of the moulds. Will look for dates and let you know

I bought one of those Lyman's new in the mid 70's, I don't know the history or how long they were made. I made some perfectly fine ammo with mine.
This one is 357 mag so maybe newer. I've seen many of these, used and without the box, sell for peanuts on Ebay, that is why I still have mine.

With the styrofoam insert...... I would say early 70's. At the earliest.... late 60's.

Great deal for $40!!!

yep, polystyrene was a late sixties product. It was the 70's before it got to every corner.

That is definately not the original 310 tool made by Lyman. I would think it would be of better quality as the price would indicate.

Don't have much use for the 310 stuff. Do have a old Tru-Line Jr press/ with Box set up for 30-06

I started reloading with a Lyman 310 set for 30/06 back in late 50's. Picked up some others a few years later. Still have most of the tools and still use some. Got a Tru-line Jr too. You got a neat package !!
