EDMUND SCIENTIFIC 6" Reflector Telescope - $175 (SOUTHWEST BOISE)These were not spectacular telescopes when they were made, but for a collector, it might be of interest. The pricing is astonishingly good. Here is the telescope section from 1968 Edmund Scientific catalog. I can remember drooling over these, and my profound disappointment with the 3" reflector, which was so poor that we returned it the next day. And yes, $29.95 was a lot of money back then, at least to my family.
If you really want a trip down memory lane (or into the paleolithic for you young whipper-snappers), I remember this Cave Optical catalog well, including the oddly dressed young lady.
I remember that red one with the big ball on the end. I used to live in NJ, so I got to visit the place a couple of times.
