Lot 515:
Marlin Micro-Vue 4X and Daisy 4X15 Riflescope Collection
Description
This lot features two vintage riflescopes including a Marlin Micro-Vue 4X and a Daisy 4X15 model. The Marlin scope features a blued finish on a slender tube with integral mounting hardware. The eyepiece is accented with a brass-colored ring and a textured adjustment collar. The tube bears a stamped cartouche reading Marlin MICRO-VUE 4X. The adjustment turret is fitted with a single textured metal cap. The second scope is a Daisy 4X15 model designed for airguns. It features a high-gloss black finish and includes a pair of integral mounting rings secured by cross-screws. The eyepiece is marked with the Daisy logo, a target symbol over the letter i, and the text 4X15 FITS AIRGUNS. This scope is equipped with two adjustment turrets capped in smooth black plastic. Both optics appear to be 4x magnification with approximately 15mm to 20mm objective lenses.
Condition report:
Both scopes show visible signs of age and field use. The Marlin scope displays significant finish thinning, surface oxidation, and scattered scuffing along the main tube (photo 1). The brass ring shows characteristic patina. The Daisy scope exhibits scattered surface scuffs, white spotting, and remnants of adhesive tape on two sections of the tube (photo 2). The mounting screws on both units show surface rust (photo 3). Optical clarity and mechanical function of the adjustment turrets have not been tested.
