Description
This listing is for a vintage BRITEX Universal 25–40x brass 4-draw telescope, complete with its original leather-covered main barrel. Made in Japan, likely in the mid-20th century (c. 1950s–1970s), this is a high-quality example of a classic extendable spyglass suitable for collectors, nautical décor, or practical outdoor use.

Note: This telescope is in good vintage condition overall. Brass shows natural ageing, patina, and surface marks consistent with age. Leather covering shows wear and scuffs but remains intact. Draws extend and collapse normally. Optics are intact. All accessible lenses have been cleaned. The scope produces a usable image (though not comparable to modern high-end optics). No major dents or structural damage.
A solid decorative or functional vintage telescope.
