Description

This telescope has a round parallel nickel silver (copper, nickel, and zinc alloy) barrel, wrapped with line and tape, painted black.  This covering appears to be a replacement.  It has an extendable shade, made to take a push-on lens cap, which is missing.  A rope "Turk's Head" knot has been added to the shade.  The objective lens is an achromatic doublet. It has one draw, a four lens eyepiece, and a flared eyecup with a sliding cover, missing its small pin.  It is signed "Ross   London" on the draw, with the eyecup to the right.
