Tickerscope - For Reading Tickertape At A Distance
Item History & Price
Reference Number: Avaluer:782599 | Maker: The Tickerscope, J. Hartford Chidester, Chatham NJ |
This device was used in brokerage offices so that customers could read the tickertape without having to get very close to the tickertape punching device. It consists of two mirrors and a very big magnifying glass that projected the image onto the mirrors so that the tape could be read.
The dimensions are: 31" High, 18 3/4" Wide, and 12" deep.
As far as I know, there are very few of these. There is one a...t a showroom in NYC, but that's the only one I have been able to find.
This is an unusual item that is almost 100 years old.
