Small Antique Brass and Mahogany Three Draw Telescope

Name: Small Antique Brass and Mahogany Three Draw Telescope
Brand: Antique
SKU: SA609822
Availability: SoldOut

19th century

Sold by In A Nutshell Antiques and Interiors

Description

Good example of a small high quality telescope dating from the late 19th century. It is a powerful three draw telescope with a mahogany covered centre and brass tubes. It also has an extendable sun shade and comes with a protective brass end cap.

The condition of the telescope is very good for its age. It is fully functional with undamaged lenses. The lenses are generally clean and they produce a clear and crisp image, although I expect they would probably benefit from a clean. The tubes have some minor signs of use and age and the wood has some general scuffs and marks but nothing detrimental. The draws have a smooth but firm action and the brass has been cleaned and lightly polished.

Closed Length : 6 1/4" (16cm)

Extended Length : 18 1/2" (47cm)

Front Lens Diameter : 1 1/4" (3.5cm)

The best description comes from the photos so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions please ask. Nationwide delivery £5.
