Shot or powder measure of some sort, any ideas

Hi Ken,
Never seen anything quite like this but would offer the following comments. The fact that it is measured one side in Drams it would definitely have something to do with measuring black powder. The other side showing Pounds would suggest measuring shot, but 1lb of shot is a big lot, and could be as you suggest for use with a Punt Gun.
Hope to see a conclusive ID here at some stage.
