    Powder measure find

    A friend of mine sent me some pictures of a powder measure that I can't identify. A friend of mine is going to post some pictures for me. Thanks again Kevin!

    Looks like the Bond measure, page 199 in Sharpe's Complete Guide to Handloading.

    2nd version Modern Bond with a missing lid.
    It is a good measure, equal to today's measure. Just a little harder to set.

    1930-35, they disappeared in the mid 30's. The first ones are from about 1924, i'd have to dig out the old books to get really precise. But this is really close. The early ones are painted black and have a shorter cross shaft.
