Wollensak 20x Mirroscope. In the early 1950’s Wollensak was a pioneer in mirror optics, and their professional Mirrotel and Fototel lenses were used in many military, aeronautic, and commercial applications. The Mirroscope was Wollensak’s consumer offering, a compact, light, and ingenious twenty power scope. It is profoundly difficult to find today. This example has very clean optics, as well as smooth combination click stop/helical focusing. The sun shade reluctantly extends and retracts, but is rather stiff. Original case included, but in rough shape, with the strap missing and seams coming undone. $185.
