Description

The measurements are 23.5 cm when closed and 73.5 cm when fully drawn. The telescope is damage free … no dents / cracks etc.

Signed on the first draw, ‘T. Harris, London’, this is an early example as the signature is on the offside of the drawtube ( the engraved signature flowing away from the eye piece, a method used circa pre 1805 ).

It gives a fine, sharp image with a magnification of 18 x. In good condition throughout.

The card case has had some previous restoration.
