Description from the seller

Antique brass telescope with leather cases – early 20th century

Antique brass spyglass with leather cases and an additional eyepiece “LOW” – early 20th century.
A design model comparable to British observation telescopes of this period.
* Origin: Europe / unknown
* Era: early 20th century, around 1900-1930
* Use: observation / travel telescope
Very good overall condition: leather well preserved with only slight signs of wear; the lenses will likely require cleaning due to dust. The additional eyepiece has around the glass a slight old greasy residue, visible in the photos.
