    Description

    From the estate of a former scientist engineer who worked at the White Sands
    Missile test range comes this very unique and highly crafted machined aluminum, brass and steel handheld sighting device. For what exact purpose I have no clue.  The top knob turns the sighting window. Weighing almost two pounds with a rough size of 5-1/2" tall by 3-1/2" wide.  Can anyone tell me what it was used for? My price is simply set on the 'cool factor' that I attribute to it. I placed this item in the military category because of its association with missile and rocket testing for the military. There quite possibly could be a NASA connection as well.
