Step back into mid-20th century precision engineering with this Meyer Opticraft Range Finder, complete with its original leather case. Made in the U.S.A., this durable optical tool was designed to provide accurate distance measurements and remains a fascinating piece of vintage optical technology.
The instrument features a rugged gray metal body, a clear dial marked in feet, and the manufacturer’s plate reading:
Meyer Opticraft, Inc. Long Island City, New York. Pat. 2627797.
Its paired brown leather case, embossed with Meyer, is made from top grain genuine cowhide and stitched with durable yellow thread. With a belt loop for easy carrying, the case is as collectible as the range finder itself.
This piece appeals to collectors of vintage scientific instruments, photographers, surveyors, or anyone who appreciates mid-century American craftsmanship.
