Description

This splendid Victorian polished brass three draw telescope is beautifully finished with a richly veneered and polished mahogany main barrel. All the other sections are in polished solid brass, with the eyepiece having a sliding brass cover and the front lens a removable brass cap.
This very tactile pocket telescope or spotting scope would have been most likely used by a naturalist watching birds and mammals.

Its small size makes it ideal for storing in a pocket or small bag.
The scope is in very good original condition with no dents or damage, and the optics still work well, producing a nice close up view.

English, circa 1880
Sizes when open: Height 3.2cm x width 42cm x depth 3.2cm
Sizes when closed: Height 3.2cm x width 16cm x depth 3.2cm
