Antique 19th Century British Brass Telescope

Antique 19th Century British brass telescope with leather covering

This antique piece has probably been military issued and used at sea.
It consists of 5 extendable tubes and features a tiny cover that can be slide in front of the lens.

It’s a highly decorative and unique item that would fit perfectly in a nautical collection but could also still come in handy while searching for pirates!

After more than a century the telescope still remains in good condition but shows some wear due to use and time.

Measurements:
extended lenght: 65 cm
retracted length: 21 cm
Diameter lens: 4,5 cm
