Cold war vintage Geiger counter from the early 1960’s manufactured by Victoreen which is still a major manufacturer of radiation detection instruments. Fully functional and, although not calibrated for many years, responds appropriately to the U-238 source attached to the side of the housing. Source pegs the meter on the 0.1 X setting and reads 3.0 to 4.0 mR/hr using the 10 X setting at contact with the side window open.
