A couple bought 3 storage units and opened up 1 of them for a yard sale yesterday. Didn't have to much that was special so far hope to get back when they open the other 2. But I did find this and bought it for $2.00 not sure how old it is but I love it. Anyone have any ideas? All brass except for pin to slide open aperture to cover the small lens.

The scope looks to be well made. It may be a nautical scope. But it does look to be antique.

Very common. Worth the $2.

Terrible optics. Just a nice decorative unit.

I love nautical and marine stuff, even if it's common it really adds to that style decor.

doesn't matter G.I.B I liked the way it looks

I own one myself. Got it on my boat. Even tried to use it a couple of times.

...and I paid a bit more than $2.

haven't figured out how to focus it yet lol


Fully extend all the tubes.

While looking through the eyepiece move the eyepiece tube in and out until something akin to focus appears.

Just the eyepiece tube, not any of the middle tubes...

Say arrrrrrg.
