19th Century Brass & Mahogany Two Draw Telescope

Extra nice, early 19th century, handheld, two draw telescope of English manufacture, circa 1830. Although unsigned, made with characteristics exhibited of telescopes produced by fine English opticians. The 1 3/8 inch objective lens survives in perfect condition, with sun shade and protected by its original press-on lens cap, with sliding dust cover. The eyepiece features a dust slide that is also in good working order. This telescope is composed of all brass construction with a choice flamed mahogany main tube, in mint condition. The telescope optics are perfect and produce a clear, highly magnified image. The telescope measures 10 1/2 inches closed extending to 24 inches (not including the sun shade). Weighs 2 pounds. A wonderful telescope, perfect for both display and use!
