Description
A lovely antique library telescope on its original folding tripod, dating from the late 19th Century. The telescope is made of lacquered brass and has a main large tube with two additional extending tubes which can be adjusted to provide the focus. The eyepiece tube provides the fine focus using the rack and pinion knob on the side.
The telescope sits on a short folding brass tripod. Two screws below the telescope fix it onto the stand. The stand allows the telescope to swivel completely around and be angled up and down.
The telescope comes with its original fitted pine box. There are some signs of age and use around the box - some old splits, knocks and marks but overall it displays well and is strong and sturdy.
The best description comes from the photos so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions just ask.

The lenses are undamaged and produce a clear and crisp image with a good range and clarity.
