    * was in business from the mid-1920's until 1961. The company produced several different models of scopes. The only one listed as being 26" long is the 1 5/8" Champion Telescopic Sight. Value given is $275-$375. This is from OLD RIFLE SCOPES by Stroebel. The flood of CMP .22 cal rifles has driven up the prices for the target scopes so these prices may be a little low.

    I agree with Herschel and would add that the Feckers were and are considered to be very fine optics for their time. When originally produced there were no where near as many types/brands of scopes produced and they were at the time very specialized items and not seen on rifles with any where near the frequency that one sees today. *, Unertyl Wollensack et. al. are definately beginning to come up in value if in good operable condition but I think Herschel is likely right in the ball park with his appraisal...at least for the time being. I have an old Stevens 44 .22 LAdies Model that has an older * mounted that I picked up for $450 a few years back and have been recieving offers closer to $750 lately and most of those folkes seem just as interested in the scope as the beautiful old rifle it's mounted on!! Seems to me you have an interesting old piece there that would be a good think to keep!!!
