A vintage 'Rangematic' distance finder.
In excellent, seldom used condition.
In original box with instructions and additional paperwork.
The Rangematic
distance finder is a vintage optical device, often
used for hunting or surveying, that uses a system of internal mirrors and
lenses to superimpose two images in its eyepiece, allowing the user to estimate
distance by rotating a dial until the images align, revealing the range in
yards or meters. It's a non-laser method for calculating distances to objects
like trees, animals, or buildings, essentially a manual rangefinder before
modern laser technology became common.
