Description

This three draw telescope measures 10.3 cms closed and almost 37 cms fully open and has a main lens aperture of 2.6 cms. The wooden barrel is made of Honduras flame mahogany.

Signed, ‘Dollond, London’, the signature appears on the first draw and is engraved from the offside of the telescope (with the eyepiece to the left). The first draw is also constructed in a three piece segmented fashion with a four-lens eyepiece arrangement produced by John & Peter Dollond.

After John Dollond’s death, Peter Dollond produced a triple-lens achromatic, which this telescope holds.

The lenses are damage free and the telescope gives a good, sharp image/

Some small nicks / scratched to the barrel.
