An Antique Dollond Six Draw Monocular Telescope.
* A Small Six Draw British Georgian or Regency Spyglass.*
** Signed only on the Eyepiece, Dollond London.
Circa 1800 in date.
* Approximately 1.7/16 inches (3.60 cms) long when fully closed.
The Brass Barrel would have been covered originally, I think its Bands are Silver as is the Eyepiece, neither show Hallmarks.
* Severe damage to the *Front only* of the two Objective Lenses, as shown.*
The Rear Objective Lens is undamaged, a bit dirty but with no cracks or obvious damage.
The Objective Carrier is very tight, slightly cross threaded as shown, no excess force or Tool was used in attempting to loosen it.
* The Eyepiece Lens has only very minor surface wear along with some signs of it being in residence for a long time, it has no cracks or major wear / damage, also as shown.*** The Threaded Components shown dismantled run well and tighten fully.
Three Unions in the Draw are more than Hand-tight, one looks to be slightly cross threaded, the remaining three move smoothly and tighten without issue.
Overall the Metalwork shows only normal and expected patina of age and use, no splits, major dents or other damage, no structural issues, all as shown.
* The Draws all deploy smoothly.*
