Haverhill Episcope Vestpocket Optical System
I picked this up today for $3. I thought it was very interesting and useful. This is an older one, but a quick search shows they still sell these.
What does it do? What doesn't it do! From the webpage:
"Remove the Episcope from its fitted leather case and it's a 30-power microscope. A twist of the wrist converts it to a 3x telescope, or a unique 3x telescope-loupe. Another twist, and you have a choice of magnifiers and loupes: 5x, 10x, and 15x powers. The Episcop, only 2" long, was developed in Wetzlar (Germany), the home of world-famous Leica cameras; it's now being made by one of Asia's finest lens makers."
Nice find!
It *does* look like it would be useful?!! Very cool!!!!

It actually works pretty good. It's a nice size and I can use the loupe. It's a way better telescope than that spy pen.
