ANTIQUE MARITIME NAVAL “STOKER” BRASS 4-DRAWER TELESCOPE WITH ORIGINAL CASEFantastic antique brass telescope with original case in nice condition. Looking through the telescope the view is crystal clear and gives a really good close-up (interesting when looking at a few things, I looked at my LCD tv from a distance, you can really see the pixelation of the tv). No makers mark on the telescope but on the inside of case it say “THE [can’t read word] STOKER”. I thought this might be an old naval telescope from the design but the term “stoker” is a naval term for some of the crew in the engine room. See photo 4. I cant make out the middle word but it ends in OC. The “THE” is printed normally yet the “?-OC” and “STOKER” is printed backwards. What all that means, I have no clue. A good mystery for you to solve! :-)Not sure if this is a 3 or 4 drawer telescope and nobody on ebay seems to know as ones like mine are both 3 and 4 drawer. Im guessing its the number of chambers or lenses inside. So im guessing this is a 4-drawer (happy to change the listing if someone can advise). The case is very tatty on the outside due to age but its protected the telescope inside and the case is sturdy and not falling to bits.Measures 24.25″ long (extended) and 9.5″ long (when closed). The actual lens at the end of the telescope measures 1.25 exactly and the overall width at the end measures 1.75.
