Description
An attractive antique brass draw telescope, featuring a three-draw brass construction with a leather-covered main barrel, typical of 19th to early 20th century pocket or field telescopes.
The telescope extends smoothly and collapses neatly, making it compact when closed and practical for storage or display. The brass surfaces show a warm aged patina, while the leather grip displays honest wear consistent with age and use.
