Description

A compact four draw brass telescope with a small wooden body, unsigned, in excellent working order and damage free (no cracks, chips etc). 

The telescope would appear to be late 19th century and measures about 20 inches when fully extended and just over 6 inches when collapsed.

There’s a brass cap for the objective lens end and a cover-plate for the eyepiece to prevent dust ingress.  So you have to manually move the eyepiece dust shield out of the way to use the telescope.  Gives a nice clear image that must be about 10x magnification or thereabouts.

Shipping by Royal Mail.
