I just won this and have never seen one before. Any guesses ?

I think it might be a early Redding due to the oval label.The drum also looks like the Flex-Ring casting. I dont have it in my possession yet. Going to make a nice hopper for it that doesnt involve PVC or pipe fittings.

No idea. With the offset drop tube make sure the powder chamber will completely empty. Hopper was likely some type of sheetmetal design. Large funnel shaped aka Ideal Armory or a long tube aka Ideal #1.

Sure looks like a very early Lachmiller

I just showed the Redding label to compare it to the worn off one
