Does anyone know what kind of press this is?

It's a big rusted press. Can't tell anything else. But I am impressed that you actually could upload such and oversized picture.
 
I've resized the image to something more manageable.

I'm not 100% certain, but it looks like an earlier Bair or Pacific to me (Pacific bought Bair, I think).

Somewhere on it it should have either a maker's name or at least patent numbers.

It needs rehab.


Hum... You know, looking at it more, I think it might be an earlier RCBS single stage press. Hard to compare with it laying on its side.
 
Who knows, the people who cast those frames do it for several companies. Kind of like those who make AR uppers and lowers.

The difference is in the tolerances as far as ram alignment.
 
The way I was able to identify the press was with Google image search that looks at the image and any description typed in.

This is accessible with right click on the image while in Google Chrome.

My son is an engineer that works on Chrome for Google.
I have been an investor in Google since the IPO in 2004.
Gotta use Google.

It appears to be an early version of a RCBS Rockchucker without the primer bar and RCBS Jr. handle. That is an awful color they painted it (LOL).

Good luck and stay safe.

It doesn't look exactly like an RCBS. The dual arms are not nearly as beefy and I don't think the C frame is as stout either. It could be an early prototype, maybe collectible, or made by somebody else so small-time they decided not to pay for branding.
 
Looks like an old Rockchucker including color that a friend of mine had that he used to swage benchrest bullets.
