Thanks to all for taking the time to reply. The historic background
from Biz & Bill puts this set in some context for me. Frank, thanks
for posting the Ostermann page to the binaries. Ron I appreciate the
website resource. If you are interested I have posted a photo of the
Scott , as well as some other items I found, at the following link;

Also a friend supplied me with a large Scott advertisement via email.
I cut out the image of a Scott 'marine model' set and posted it next
to the SLR for comparison.
