Has anyone had any experience with the J.W. Fecker scope? It looks a lot like a Unertl. Is quality close to Unertl?

I am looking for some information on a Fecker scope that I've had for years. It's 10 & 1/2 inches long, 3/4 inch diameter. It has a slightly belled eyepiece. Target adjustable mount. It is magnified - I haven't determined how much. It has one horizontal crosshair and a post. On the tube" J.W. Fecker #4401.

The 1952 Gun Digest lists both Unertl and Fecker scopes. In similar sized models, the Fecker scopes are priced slightly higher. Unertl scopes were made with objective lenses from 1" to 2". Fecker scopes were 1 1/4" or 1 5/8". The scopes with larger objective lenses and paralax adjustment were priced higher than those without these features. I believe Fecker and Unertl were of similar quality but Unertl stayed in business much longer.

Fecker was in business from around 1925 until 1961...no idea why they went out of business. These were always considered excellent quality optics and bring good money today.
