The Tanker Base Manager for the Oregon Division of Forestry at Medford just handed me something interesting.Its a Kolsman aircraft periscopic sextant in the original wooden carrying case.The sextant has a yellow tag that indicates that it was inspected on "Jan 17 1984".It appears to be in mint condition.An ex-USAF person gave this to Phil Hufstader (the ODF guy) with instructions to try to find an aircraft museum that would appreciate it for display.I asked Phil if a flying warbird would qualify.He seemed to think that it might.
The tag on the box,which matches the info on the yellow tag reads:
Sextant Aircraft Periscope
