DUNKS Posted June 1, 2022 Report Share Posted June 1, 2022 Having a bit of a sort out in the loft and found this. Seem to remember I got it in a tray with other junk at auction. It has an eye piece with a lens which can be slid out to extend the tube. There is a lens at the other end which can also be moved and a small mirror which is fixed. Looks a bit old from the pigskin case and clasp. It's got me beat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of wearing a thing like this and making a spectacle of yourself wy not just turn round. Simple. Back in those days there were all sorts of cranky things. Father had a motorbike and when it rained he used a face visor that was a wind driven rotating disc like a rotary boat windshield. One time it went out of balance and nearly had him off the bike. Total crackpot ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
