that is a shot dispenser. Back in the day it was used with a different size shot in each part of the dispenser. Most rural stores had one. the muzzle loader hunters would buy shot by the pound. I sold my last one for about $800 no idea what they are worth now. Check EBay to see what they are selling for. At one time I collected that stuff. Merchandizer's are also nice. Still have a bunch of them. I'll post a photo later.

Antique lead shot dispenser that would have been used in a general store in the 1800's. The label is in the drawer. Patent July 1879.

Thanks eb! So it looks like a funnel for loading the dispenser, perhaps, and maybe cups that might hold a pound, 1/2 lb of shot etc. just guessing. Very helpful!

That is the most complete one I've seen. Wonder where it's been for the last 125 years.

It's in an old Louisiana farmhouse,I'm sure its been there a long time. Wife thinks it came from "the old store". I'll try to get more details.
