A fabulous three drawer Victorian telescope made from polished solid English brass, which has just been professionally re-polished to gleam. Signed by J H Steward with the retail addresses " J H Steward, 406-66 Strand, 54 Cornhill, 63 St Paul's Church Yd, London"

It's unusual due to the covering of the barrel with a black woven fibre and a string natural woven cord top and bottom with a tab integrated into each.

The lens has a brass cover and the eye piece has a little integrated shutter to protect the eye hole.

Excellent condition, measuring 6 1/8" in length extending to 16 1/2" in length.
