Description: Description: This is an antique brass telescope likely dating from the late 19th to early 20th century, perfect for both collectors and enthusiasts. It features an extendable tripod, clear, functional optics and a brass lens cap. The age of the telescope has been gauged by several factors, including the natural patina developed on the brass, the solid construction typical of the era, and the mechanical design of the tripod and eyepiece assembly. These characteristics align with instruments from this period, suggesting this piece is from the turn of the century. Patina is evident across various parts of the telescope, particularly around the tube, tripod legs, and adjustment knobs, showcasing its age and natural wear. This subtle aging stands in contrast to modern replicas, which often display light artificial patinas or lack the fine craftsmanship found in genuine older instruments. Though there is no visible maker's mark, the quality of the brass and the traditional design strongly indicate it is an authentic piece from this time. The telescope's optics are in good working order and can bring subjects into clear focus during daylight. There are a few faint markings visible on the lens when looking closely, which may be dust or natural age-related imperfections (it could probably benefit from a clean). These marks are less noticeable when the telescope is in focus and do not seem to affect overall functionality.
