Extended this telescope is about 420mm long (17″) and compacted about 160mm (6″) long. There are no makers markings on it, but most probably it was made about 1900. At the back there is a small flap (see the 4th photo) to cover the lens, and wear marks suggest there was once a brass cap. By my estimation it gives about 5x magnification.

 

 

It is in good condition and works well. All the glass elements are clean (apart from some surface dust) as indicated in the final three photos.

 

 

Though it can be used please bear in mind that the optics are not up to modern standards; thus I consider this more as an antique collectable.
