A bit more Pacific Gun Sight Company trivia:
circa 1929 - The Pacific Gun Sight Company published Catalog No. 7. The company address was 424 Balboa Street, S.F., California.
This was the home address of 'Sight Inventor', Walter J. Sutton and his family, during the 1930 U.S. Census.
(I wonder when catalog #1 was issued)?
I just purchased an original 1943 (wartime) catalog for the Pacific Gun Sight Company. It contains a (partial) drawing, showing the facade of the 355 Hayes St. Store/Shop. There is a cool photograph of the salesroom, 'Den', interior.
