Expandable Metal Brass Telescope Wrapped in Leather with Silver Caps for Lens

About the Item

Acquired in Paris, France. A wonderful early 20th Century spyglass or telescope. Expandable from 6"-16". Small and compact, but opened very nostalgic and decorative. The piece does work and is functional, but it's vintage. A compliment to many rooms, desks or work stations - clever and unique.
