Thought I had an odd case with small primer. Looked a little more closely and realized it had a Berdan primer.
Head stamp is "FN .45 55".
First one like it I've ever seen.
If it's of any interest to a "case collector", first reply gets it.

Yes they have been around for some time I have slightly under 100 of those things I started out with exactly 100 but have used up maybe around 20 . I keep 4or 5 empty ones in my gunbox for when I go to a bullseye match and the guy next to me starts picking up all his brass and some of mine . I salt his with a few of my berdam ones

Hiram Berdan of New York invents the Berdan primer system and Europe adopts it.
Colonel Edward Mounier Boxer, of England, invents the Boxer primer system and America adopts it.
Thank God we accepted the Boxer system.
From what I could tell from patents, GE invents the use of platinum catalyst to cure silicone rubber and Dow adopts it, while Dow invents tin curative and GE adopts it.
