Description

An Art deco period (1930) stainless steel and brass telescope on an adjustable tripod stand. The instrument is well made with fine threads coupling the barrels. The brass eyepiece has a lens shutter. It has excellent lenses which produce a clear bright image with excellent magnification.(See last two photographs and note the magnified image is extremely difficult to capture in a photograph and is much much clearer when viewed with the eye).The telescope is attached to the stand with two brass screw adjusted clamps and can be removed with ease. The stand is stable and can rotate horizontaly. The knuckle joint allows angular movement. It further adjusts vertically on a spiked strut which can be extracted enabling the telescope to be mounted on a suitable base when in rough ground. The magification is sufficient to observe the moons craters well.

Height unextended 40 cm extended about 56 cm. Length normally focussed about 61cm

Diameter of the objective lens about 4 cm and the main barrel 4.4 cm

Brass focussing barrel diameter about 4 cm and the spread of the feet of the base 23 cm
