The mystery item has been revealed. If people enjoyed the game I will do this with more pieces in the future.
As can be seen in the photos this is a 3 piece item, the sifter and 2 removable cups. It probably seemed like a good idea at the time but people already had measuring cups and various bowls. I am not seeing anything on the net close to this.
The top and bottom both have.....

embossed on them.
It is painted in a lovely cream color. I have a few more pictures in the "What is this?" post.
Repath-Carver Co. also had a non-painted version:

A product looking for an application; didn't really hit the spot!
Thank you very much TallCakes. I shall add that information.
Thank you very much racer4four. Does not seem to have been a big hit.

I'd guess the idea was maybe for recipes that tell you to sift the flour twice.
But I haven't baked in so long I'd suspect that's an outdated method.
This is a very neat item!
Thank you very much Karenoke. I'll have to check my old recipe books for that. There don't seem to be many of these.
Thank you
