Description
This is a fabulous antique telescope which comes with both its original tabletop stand and floorstanding tripod. The telescope dates from the late 19th Century and is made of brass with a large leather covered main tube. It has a two draw extendable eyepiece which focuses the telescope using the rack and pinion knob on the side. It also comes with its original brass lens cover.
The telescope fixes to the top of a brass support which has three brass tipped mahogany legs. This enables it to be stood on a tabletop and the telescope angle can be adjusted and swivelled. It also comes with three additional long legs which fit onto the bottom of the smaller ones enabling it to be used as a floor standing telescope as well.
The best description comes from the photos so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions just ask.
