Sorry, I was mistaken. It's actually a Supreme Mmodel 546. It's got a
wooden enclosure and is quite spiffy in it's oldness.
Check out these photos I took of it a while back:

Sorry that they're not the best resolution. Anyway, it's a neat little
scope. I've dated it to the late 1930's or very early 1940's. I would
appreciate if anyone had more information about it.
I did a web search recently and came up with way more hits than I did when
I checked a couple years ago. Someone has one for sale for $89 here:
