Powder measure

Hello 
Again another item from the Reno show.
An unusual powder, a friend said this type may have been discussed before with it being possibly German.

  

Thanks, Don

I don't get it.  How does the powder get into the graduated glass cylinder?

Thanks

Looks like down stroke fills. Up stroke dumps?

You rotate the handle down, until the glass vial aligns with the brass tube with the powder canister attached. The powder drops and fills the vial. Then you rotate the handle back up until it aligns with the brass tube where the powder will drop into the case.

Wow, just wow.  I got interested in the Schuetzen game because of all the neat tools and gimmicks, and this one checks all the boxes!  I’ve never seen one of these, or even pictures.  Thanks for sharing.

Ballards may be weaker,

I recall one of those being discussed before, and maybe even recently enough for my feeble memory to remember it! Pretty darn cool!

That is wonderful. Think of the effort they went to back then to build that. Awesome.
