box is aprox 32" x 5" x 5" deep excellent optics This is a 1942 U.S. Navy BUSHIPS, (Bureau of Ships) WWII, Quartermaster, Mark II, 16 power "Spyglass," Serial No. 24047, manufactured by Kollmorgen Optical Corp. with case. These telescopes were used on warships to detect enemy fire. US Navy, WWII spyglasses are waterproof, have outstanding optics and focus by twisting the eyepiece. I find it interesting that the serial number on the spyglass does not match the serial number on the box. A sign that the boxes and glasses got separated in the fog of war?
