This compact and beautifully aged instrument speaks to a time when precision and portability were highly valued. Crafted from solid bronze, this scope boasts a lovely patina that only comes with age with its warm tones and subtle wear. The ends of the scope have knurled rings for easy grip and likely for focusing the eyepiece. Please note that this telescope is missing its lenses.
Attached to the side of the 6 inch scope is what appears to be a small sight level, complete with its own adjustable mechanism. This suggests the scope may have had applications in surveying, engineering, or even early military use.
This is a vintage item and shows signs of age and use, including some surface wear, scratches, and potential discoloration to the bronze. Please be aware that this telescope is being sold AS IS and IS MISSING ITS LENSES. It is being sold as a collectible antique and not as a functional instrument.
