By trade, Sidle was a well-known Philadelphia-based optician who made microscopes. At the dawn of the telescopic sight era, he built a number of these special sights which he offered for sale in a small catalog. Later in life, it is my understanding that he moved to California and continued selling scopes on a small scale. Today, his scopes are usually found on single shot rifles but he developed a special set of mounts specifically for lever actions and even one for Stevens single shot pistols.
