Antique Powder mearsure?

I found this at a antique shop ten bucks. The only stamping on it is Made in USA. And Malleable both stamps on the C-clamp. Anybody know whom manufactured this lovely piece of equipment? I use it for reloading .45auto. It is the only measure in my arsenal that will drop with in .1 gr of 800x(had 8 pounds given to me). I don’t assume it to be too old as it has hex head screws. My guess was an ideal powder measure.2836D517-98B7-49DD-BD9A-2E41D9E73AD1.jpeg 164499B9-A709-41A6-B35C-F514A7785552.jpeg
 
Looks like an Ideal or an old Lyman, it's very similar to the Lyman 55 that i currently use.
I thought so too. It has a recessed screw type volume adjustment. Unlike the Lyman 55 which has the sliding blocks. I have searched the internet far and wide and have not seen one like it.

Finally found it online Saeco truespeed powder measure. It’s the cats ass for small run handgun loads.Or hard to measure powders like 800x. Might try 22-250 loads on it next.
 
Heck of a deal for any powder measure, especially for one that will drop small quantities accurately!
I use the Lee for pistols (4.2 gr. Titegroup).
