	I purchased a number one powder measure off an on line site. and wonder who it was that had some of the powder hoppers made I found a discussion here in early 2017 about them and refer to a member here making them. I also found in my odd parts pile a complete rotor. Would like to find the person who has the number one body without rotor.

	Tom, Back about 4-5 years ago, I made up a couple brass hoppers and turned brass caps for the No. 1 Ideal. I sold them to someone here on the forum. Both the brass tube and the turned caps were made for an industrial customer where I worked. The tube ends were scrap and filled a scrap tote monthly.

	Vaguely remember Bill Loos having a few made up yrs ago. Doesn't seem as if it would be hugely difficult to fabricate, except that it would require the special crimping tool needed to join the two edges of the sheet metal hopper.

	Thank you guys. Just wondered. The brass one on it looks fine and now that I hit with flat black and found a 2 in. lid for it. But will check into a hopper. Friend got one in Denver a couple of years ago.

First time I saw an original, I thought it was something home-made out of a tin can!

	Redsetter. You are right the original tin was pretty crude and why most are missing. Pope searched trash cans on the way to his shop for baking powder tins to build his duplex measures. And the powder reservoir looks it.
