Tatham & Brothers are manufacturers of lead pipe, sheet lead and shot. Based at 82 Beekman Street, New York. The building was one of two cast iron shot towers designed by James Bogardus for use and manufacturing lead shot. Tower was contracted in 1856 and was just over the Brooklyn bridge adjacent to the South Street Seaport. The Tatham Company was one of the largest suppliers of cast shot in the union army during the Civil War. It was destroyed in 1907. The salesman case is covered in black leather embossed with owner's name in gold. It folds open to display 26 original vials of various size shot featuring Tatham's patent finish. Sizes range from dust to triple zero. Outside case is in excellent all original condition. The display case measures 11" in length and 2-1/2" tall. It is accompanied by copies of history on the famous shot tower. The first one of these to have surfaced to our knowledge and will make an interesting addition to any shotgun or cartridge collection.

U-BOAT COMMANDER'S CARL ZEISS BINOCULARSVery desirable Kriegsmarine U-Boat commander's 7 x 50 binoculars ("Doppelfernrohr 7 x 50 fur U-Boote" or "U-Boot-Fernglaser"), manufactured by Carl Zeiss. These very rare binoculars were issued as standard equipment to U-boats and used by those on watch on the conning tower of those vessels. The binoculars feature black rubber eye cups and a protective frame jacket secured to the frame with steel screw-on brackets. Beneath the right hinged covers are the markings "7x50 46388 blc" which is the serial number and manufacturer's code for noted optics manufacturer Carl Zeiss. The ends of the binoculars are likewise covered with a protective rubber coating to prevent damage from rough handling. The foam-green body is painted with a sand-type finish allowing the user to maintain a solid grip. The "auto-focus" lenses, a brilliant achievement at the time, are still in excellent condition allowing clear and undiminished vision. The set also comes with the remnants of a cloth lanyard. These binoculars are identical to the pair shown in Gordon Williamson's authoritative work, "Torpedo los!", published by R. James Bender Publishing, 2006, pp. 316, 319 and 319.
