I found this in a bunch of stuff from  an estate. It’s for  target rifle and it stamped with Winchesters address. Can anybory identify it and does it have any worth? We got a ton of his gun room stuff and are running across fun stuff like this all the time. Thanks for your input.

A lot…unless it’s totally wrecked; even then the parts have value.  The 1909 date means it’s one of several different models of scopes that Win began making that yr.; values vary, but all are worth $700+ if the optics are good.

Jim,  looks to be in excellent cond, but there’s one problem:  front mount is a Stevens.  (Stevens scopes were built with a small stud behind the objective lens; when the scope moved forward after firing, the user pulled it back into that notch.  Win mount uses a plunger fitting the groove in the bottom of the tube.)  If you could find a Win front mount (won’t be easy), I’d say it’s worth about $800, though prices do vary considerably; best to review “sold” auctions on ebay.

Thanks Clarence, I’ll probably sell it as is. I am selling  a estate for the widow and there is a absolute pile of parts and holsters, etc. to go through. Maybe some one with a set of bases has a bad scope. (and frogs wouldn’t bump their butt when they jump)Kiss
