I was perusing a local auction company’s app and found an estate sale auction with lots of vintage/antique reloading and shooting gear. Also lots of ammo and guns that sold for probably 10x what the old feller paid for it. There is literally a Heritage Rough Rider .22lr Revolver that sold for $400. I’ve seen new models as low as $119 online in the past. A couple HiPoints sold for over $300 each.
I ended up buying a few lots of some old reloading gear and components I’m gonna use for display/decorating purposes in my reloading room; an old Redding scale, a bunch of old style metal powder tins of different manufacturers, powder funnels, etc.
I noticed this item, and at first I thought it might be an early powder trickler? Compared to other items of known dimensions, the corkscrew looks too big to me to be a powder trickler.
Maybe a shotgun shot dispenser?
Maybe not even related to reloading? Let me know if anyone has any ideas. I’ll post more pics when I pick it up on Thursday afternoon if no one has provided a positive ID by then.
