This is perhaps the best quality hand held telescope that I have ever owned. Dating to circa 1825, the optics are perfect-sharp and clear. The mahogany barrel retains its' beautiful original color and patina and has almost no nicks or other signs of wear. The brass tubes and mounts are also in near perfect condition. Overall, a wonderful example worthy of any museum collection! Length closed: 12 1/4" Extended: 39"
