    Ideal Manufacturing #6 is this for black powder

    In doing some relatives spring cleaning i came an item that is unknown to me...

    I think the patent date is 1882 or 1892

    Is this a black powder dispenser?

              BTW, be careful with picclick as frequently the photo and info don't match.

                  Is there a forum for selling this type or item or am I better if posting on gun broker?

                      GB might work, but I'd try a specialty site like
                      DoubleGuns For Sale @ doublegunshop.com - The DoubleGun BBS @ doublegunshop.com
                      https://doublegunshop.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=postlist&Board=3&page=1
                      Most double shotguns represented here. Double gun shotguns - Side by Side shotguns, and over under shotguns - Including drillings, double barreled rifles, SxS double rifles, combination guns. Makers - Darne, Merkel, Arrieta, Beretta, Browning, Holland, Purdey, Richards, Bernardelli, Parker, Fox, LC Smith, and most other double barreled shotgun, gun and double rifle makers.


                      Too much complete crap on GB and your listing will get lost in it. Lots of BP shooters on DoubleGunShop.

                          In answer to your question: the possibility of a static electricity generated spark from the operation of the measure is generally considered to preclude its use with black powder.
                          That may be wrong - they say you should not shoot damascus barreled shotguns too.

                              Regular old Lyman powder measure for reloading metallic cartridges. Looks to still have its lid so that will help the value.
                              The iron it's made out of will not create static. I'd be more worried about the newer ones with the plastic hoppers.
                              I'd suspect the date is 1892 - since smokeless powder was invented in 1884.

                                  Looks like the moving parts are brass to minimize the chances of igniting powder.

                                      Brass so wouldn't rust and stick in the rest of it. Steel on steel would require that it be kept oiled.

                                          Steel on steel can also spark. As can iron on iron or iron on steel.
