Offered here is a vintage Lyman Ideal No. 55 powder measure, manufactured by the Lyman Gun Sight Corporation of Middlefield, Connecticut. This classic bench-mounted reloading tool features a cast-metal body with its distinctive orange finish, adjustable powder metering mechanism, translucent amber powder reservoir, and black screw-on hopper cap. The lot includes two powder drop tubes or adapters, the original illustrated Lyman Ideal No. 55 factory box, an instruction booklet, and a small assortment of Hornady reloading identification labels.

The powder measure appears complete and retains much of its original orange finish, with scattered scratches, minor finish losses, and handling wear consistent with age and previous use. The reservoir shows some discoloration from age but appears intact. The original cardboard box exhibits edge wear, scuffing, and general storage wear, while the instruction booklet shows age-related discoloration and handling marks. Mechanical operation and metering accuracy have not been tested. A desirable vintage reloading accessory with its original packaging and accompanying literature.
