Hello
I just received the measure below and I am trying to find some info, it is a duplex measure it has the color and window configurations of a Milwaukee Brass but an unusual mechanism.
I went through the Reloading Tools of the Black Powder Era and tried the Antique Reloading Tool website but couldn't find anything in either.
So here are some pic's let me know if you know anything about this.
In the book it states that there is no known catalog or ads for Milwaukee Brass measures.
Thanks Don

I’m confused.  Why use a Duplex Measure to throw 3 grains of FFFg, then add 40 more grains of FFFg on top of it?  Regardless, it’s a neat old measure and at least it should work well.
