Looks interesting nonetheless... I've never seen anything like this guy before. Could it be a Spaulding? Neutral

Hmm, the refractor sorta looks like the one on the B2215.

Powerlite clamshell?! Very Happy

Well it's possible, we know they made gumballs in the past too. Here's a closeup of a B2215 showing the refractor detail:

The two look similar, but if you look at the B2215, its lens has diagonal prisms in the top left area of the visable portion while the clamshell doesn't appear to have that. It could be a modifyed design though of course as the rear portion and bottom prisms look identical... Westie switched refractors on the OV-15 in the 60s from a more curved design to the more angular design that's still used today.

Looks like half-Jocelyn, half Revere. I've never seen this anywhere before.
