This is a great

18th CENTURY

ANTIQUE

REFLECTING

TELESCOPE
by 
FRASER 
of
LONDON

In my estimation it dates from around the mid 18th Century, but please make up your own mind about this.

The telescope measures approx 30 inches (760mm) long extended, and 18 3/4 inches (475mm) tall (to the top of the body tube, with the tube horizontal.)

It is made from brass throughout.

The telescope is in good condition, with light wear in keeping with its great age.
There is a small split on the open end of the tube ( see photos) but no other damage, or repairs.

The telescope measures approx 4 1/4 inches (110mm) diameter, and the instrument gives a good clear image (The correct way up.)

The lenses are in good order, with no chips, cracks, or damage.

The telescope  is in good overall condition with light wear in keeping with its great age, but no major damage or repairs.

It would look stuning if it were polished up to a bright finish but, as some collectors prefer the original patina, this is a choice I leave to you.

This is a good example of its type.

It would make a great addition to any collection.

(Please see the photos for condition and type. )
