Oh, I'm sorry the scan is so small - the price was actually $169.50 -

Did it come with binoculars?

Wow, that thing would cost in todays money

What cost $169.50 in 1948 would cost $1402.25 in 2005.
Also, if you were to buy exactly the same products in 2005 and 1948,
they would cost you $169.50 and $20.49 respectively.
