Description

Unsigned, single draw decagonal, taper barreled telescope. The main lens is a single element (non achromatic) which dates it to 1750’s or possibly earlier. It comes to focus at 29″ (74 cms) and the draw tube is retractable and has a five lens eye-piece.

The barrel has an age crack which is not serious.

The telescope gives a fine sharp image on the centre of view.

It comes with a later wooden display stand.
