Googling and auction site searching doesn't help much, because it throws up
adapters to fix a camera to a telescope, but sometimes serendipity helps
instead. Such as 180091774978 on the auction site - the seller has three
more identical, and from his specialization in things from that neck of the
woods, I would imagine that these are the same brand (TYPUCT, perhaps?) as
yours, Jay.

This one's about a foot long, and uses a couple of lenses. It must have been
made in Russia: the label on the side is Turist-FL in Cyrillic letters.
