Alan 1,273 #1 Posted August 31, 2018 Found while digging around in the shed after collecting the Selig lathe. Just over 3" long. The small knob moves the end section sideways. The larger knob raises or lowers. Not much movement of both sections. This was the only part in a small box although it is obviously part of a kit. No name or numbers.

joegrgraham 30 #4 Posted August 31, 2018 As mentioned above, it is a rifle sight, probably from an air rifle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alan 1,273 #7 Posted August 31, 2018 Thanks all. Would never have thought of that. Because of all the lathes and machinery in the sheds, I assumed that it was some sort of workshop measuring or setting device, but can see it's use now. The only guns I have handled were toy pop guns in my not so old days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
