Solved: Bausch and Lomb UNICUM lens

[BobinSouthVA]

Well I think I know what it is but then again I'm not sure what it is.

Some sort of optical device. not sure how old though. searching for unioum on google hasn't gotten me very far and don't have much time atm.

anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
Bob

Eh, you did all the heavy lifting. I just noticed the "C" in what was first thought to be "Unioum" and decided to see what I could wrangle up.

Anyway, you definitely get the free pint of butter brickle on this one!

I had the camera shutter idea and the C in post #3, but got off the right track with the patent numbers.

I know you dont post PBK until you got it right.

Alright PBK, what the heck is butter brickle!

It's a flavor of ice cream from 'way back when.

Oh well that explains why I haven't heard it, I'm not old enough!

Gee, thanks, sonny!

There was also a Butter Brickle candy bar (kind of like a Heath bar). They put chunks of it in the ice cream, hence the name.

I used to get it now and then when I was a kid and my dad worked for White Dairy. As an Arkie, I'm sure you're familiar with White Dairy.
