Authentic brass spyglass telescope featuring a leather-covered barrel, brass draw tube, and original removable lens cap. This handsome telescope extends to an impressive 36 inches and displays beautifully with its original aged patina and well-worn green leather covering.
The telescope appears to date from the late 19th to early 20th century and was likely intended for maritime, military, sporting, or terrestrial observation. The long extension and quality brass construction give it excellent display presence for any nautical collection, library, office, or coastal décor setting.
No maker's markings were found despite careful inspection, making attribution uncertain, but the construction is consistent with Victorian and Edwardian-era brass telescopes.
