Ok, so I know there's all kinds of people here and I'm kind of unsure where to start. So...

As usual, we often go to the internet to find info on things.

Today, while visiting my buddy's antique shop to pick up some vintage marbles for my daughter, I ran across this thing for 5 bucks. It's eye piece was on crooked and didn't seem to function, but I bought it anyway because I like old trinkets.

I cleaned it up at work, got the lenses cleaned and working again, got the lens off and back on properly ... and the little thing works well. Top it off... that swing down lens thingy turns it into a magnifying glass.

Anyone ever seen one of these? I briefly looked around but didn't find anything quite like it.

Thanks for looking.

Kelly

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.“

well..just looking at it kind of reminds me of something the elders used at a rifle range back in the day, now days they would call it a Spotters Scope.
