From Salvage to Space

The tour continues back in time through the original building with glass display cases filled with wonderful antiques: old brass sextants, compasses, ship chronometers, surplus tank periscopes, microscopes, naval binoculars and opera glasses. The company even has a Norden bombsight, one of America’s most jealously guarded secrets during World War II. The tour ends in a storeroom crammed with World War II surplus optics still wrapped in their original government ordnance packaging—all relics from the early days of Norman Edmund and Edmund Salvage Co.
