It was listed by The Antique Partnership. Sold pieces stay on Sellingantiques as a record of what has passed through, and the next one is rarely far away.
The Antique Partnership has dated this piece to the 1910s.
The stand legs can be reduced in height as they unscrew half way up. The telescope has a single hand focusing tube with one original lens which is very adequate for viewing the moon clearly. There is also a brass adapter which allows the use of 1.25 inch modern lenses which give even greater magnification. 6.5mm and 25mm modern lenses together with a diagonal and 20mm erecting lens come with the telescope.
Overall the telescope is in good condition with brass work which has not been over cleaned. It stands well as a decorative yet useable antique scientific instrument.
The main barrel is 93 cm long with focusing tube approx 108cm
Diameter of barrel 8cm
Height to horizontal 148 cm Spread of tripod approx 104 cm
