BRASS VICTORIAN MARINE TELESCOPE
Did you dream of chasing down pirates as a kid? Exploring the world following nothing but the horizon? Crossing the seas, no matter how wild?
With this vintage style telescope, you can hang on to that same sense of adventure that seems to otherwise fade as we grow old.
The first authentic looking replica is based on a W. Otway & Co model from London in 1915. It has an intricate embossed pattern to bring a true feeling of Victorian Vintage finery. It comes in a decadent wooden case with deep blue felt lining to let everyone know your dreaming of globetrotting... Even when you're stuck at your desk.
The second model is another impressive replica, this time of a model from Kelvin & Hughes London in 1917. It's a more simple statement, with clean polished brass aside from a small nameplate. This model comes with a smart leather case and has a leather strap for easy carrying.
Our third model is based on a Dollond London telescope from 1920, with a soft leather grip to make your adventures more comfortable. This one comes in an Indian rosewood case with a decorated glass panel, perfect for displaying your new "toy"!
Note: This item is a reproduction, handmade by master artisans who employ techniques and traditions that are often centuries old. That means there may be some natural blemishes or imperfections. These are not product flaws, just part of the magic that makes each piece so unique.
