I couldn't see what they were looking at, but I saw a plain brown cardboard scope box, which intrigued me. As they talked the other friend passed on the scope, and I asked if I could look at it, and not step on any toes, or be butting in. Both fellas were fine with it, so I was handed the scope box. Inside was a brand new Lyman Targetspot that appeared to have either never been used, or used very little. It had the Pope rail on the bottom of the tube, which also indicated a very early scope; and the box end label said Targetspot, not Junior or Super Targetspot.
The label read 10x, and the price was $60, with application showing "Lo W 52" on it. Guessing that might mean a Winchester Winder Musket or a 52?
No serial number at all on it, which further indicates a very early Lyman. I think this may be a first year Lyman Targetspot. The only Lyman I've ever seen in a plain brown cardboard box, as all I've owned were orange cardboard boxes with the reinforced metal corners.
The box is missing the drill bit, taps, bases, and instructions, but otherwise a pretty nice old scope and box.
