Info on old Spencer objectives



Hello all. I'm hoping that someone can give me a little info on two objectives I have. Both are labeled AO Spencer, and Made in USA. One is chrome plated, labeled 2X, and has no other marks. The other is raw aluminum, or a similar appearing metal, 3.5X, and NA .09. Neither has the infinity-corrected logo. Can anyone tell me what the tube length on either of these is? Any other info on them is appreciated.
