About the Item

TELESCOPE GADGET CANE 20th century 38 1/4" H An ingenious gentleman’s gadget cane, the handle crafted of polished chromed nickel and designed to cleverly conceal a fully functional telescope. The cylindrical handle removes entirely to reveal the optical instrument. The mechanism collapses neatly into place and the telescope is reinserted securely into the top of the shaft by threading it onto the handle, thereby transforming it back into an elegant walking stick. The shaft is ebonized hardwood with a fitted polished nickel sabot over an ebonized tip. Condition: Handle with light surface marks from use and age, the telescope mechanism intact and functioning - lenses are a bit dirty/cloudy; shaft with minor abrasions and wear consistent with handling; ferrule with typical rubbing. ref. 503EWP05L About silla antiques & art Established in 2009, we have available in our 9000 square foot brick-and-mortar gallery an ever-changing selection of carefully curated and catalogued furniture, decorative arts, paintings, sculpture and estate jewelry.
