How you know that you have a keeper.

My wife came home from an antique store and handed me a brown paper bag with this inside. She said the guy opening the case jokingly asked if she even knew what it was. She knew it had to be black powder related and that I would want it. She’s a keeper.

A very cool 19th century shot dipper. Adjustable from 1 - 2 1/4 oz of shot or 2 1/2 - 5 drams of powder. I may need a new gun to go along with this…

Ya, isn't that the way it goes? That's a keeper for sure. Keep us posted on the guns you get to go with it.

Mine would have that thing in the kitchen determined to figure out how to use that funky spice measure.

I just might do that.

Pretty sure mine is identical to yours. Still has the cork lining in the bottom. Agree with @RiverRat, that gal deserves a pitcher of Lager, and a platter of wings.
