Measuring just 3 1/2 inches long (9 cm.) with a lens diameter of 1 1/4 inches (3 cm.), this single draw pocket telescope has seen use, but not abuse. The achromatic doublet object lens is intact (nice green glass), the image is sharp (focal range 10-12 cm.-demarcation on barrel). The brass work (knurling ) is diagonal and very fine. All of the screws (8) to the barrel are intact. The barrel may have been covered at some time but Read More...

~GOOD GEORGIAN COIN/GOLD SCALES IN SHARKSKIN CASE-S. READ~

By Scientifica Opticae Inc.

Comments Off

A good set of Georgian coin/gold scales by Samuel Read, St. Anne’s Lane, London c.1748 in flawless sharkskin case with red velvet liner.
