This antique telescope features a classic three-draw design, constructed from polished brass with a textured dark leather-wrapped primary barrel. The telescoping sections extend smoothly, and the piece includes a matching brass objective lens cap and a removable flared eyepiece. The brass shows a natural aged patina with minor surface wear consistent with historical use.
