Information Needed About Rifle Scope

I found this old rifle scope in a box where I was storing miscellaneous parts and pieces.
Does anybody have information about this scope in the photos below? It is approximately 12 inches in length and the tube is made from brass which is approximately 0.75 inches in diameter. It isn't clear in the photo but the inscription on the scope mount is Mossberg No 6 Scope Mount.
I don't know if the scope is a Mossberg or maybe a Weaver or other? Would anybody have any interest in purchasing this type of item and if so what is a fair value? Any other information would be helpful.
Thanks.

I have a older copy of Stroebel's scope book where he lists them, unfortunately without pictures. To collectors together with the external adjustment mount, some have substantial value.
Take better quality close-up photos with indirect lighting. Put the scope and mount on the auctions.
The scope is a Mossberg No. 6 as is the scope mount. They were manufactured between 1935 to 1940. Apparently, these could be mounted on a Mossberg 46 rifle made between 1935 to 1937.
Thanks you guys for the help.
