No Reserve! Great old Captain Midnight Spyscope with the Instructions and the cardboard mailing tube. It just doesn't get better than that! The spyscope measures about 3 1/2 inches long when closed and about 6 1/4 inches when fully extended. It was played with as the printing of Captain Midnight's Spyscope is worn on the side but still legible. It looks like both ends were glued in place and I don't know if it was made that way or repaired. The instructions are in very good condition. They have been living in that tube for the last 50+ years so it always wants to curl back up! 's some of what it says: "no telescopes of this type have been available since the start of the war", "identify airplanes in flight by their design or wing markings" and " useful for identifying ships". Definitely has the war theme going on! I get a good laugh at all the things you can do with this, but folks, it just is not that powerful! The instructions are 2 pages with printing on all 4 sides. Advertises the Secret Squadron Shake-Up Game and you can send in the form to get an Ovaltine Shake Up Mug for 15 cents! The original cardboard mailer tube was sent to some kid in Fennville, Michigan. Most of the mailing label is complete including: From The Wander Company, 360 N. Michigan Avenue, Chicago 1, Illinois. The instructions have the same address to send
