An early 20th Century Enbeeco 'Curlew' 25x-40x Antique Leather & Brass 2-Draw Telescope

The Enbeeco Curlew is a 2-draw pancratic telescope with a magnification of 25x-40x. It has a 40mm objective. It is of brass construction with a leather cover on the main barrel. It has a sliding sunshade, also covered in leather

Made in London by Newbold & Bulford of London, England, makers of telescopes and binoculars during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Most of their telescope models were terrestrial telescopes, sometimes known as spyglasses. These show an erect image, wheras an astronomical telescope usually shows an image inverted either vertically or horizontally (depending on the optical design).

Superb Olde Worlde CRAFTSMANSHIP in Leather & BRASS

Size: Closed: 10.25" Open: 27"

This telescope was VERY RECENTLY comprehensively serviced

The telescope was fully stripped-down, dismantled, inspected for damage (NO DAMAGE no cracks or chips or any damage to internal Glass components), carefully cleaned, with the cloth sliders replaced

Now I am pleased to say it is in SUPERB WORKING ORDER

Focuses easily & sharply, with smooth slide action, & very firm operation

Now working "As New" & 100% FLAWLESS

THERE ARE NO (none = ZERO!) nasty wee dents or "dings" to the fabulously preserved Brass-work

All the original leather telescope wrap remains in place with all leather & stitching 100%

Quite amazing for a 120+ year-old Telescope

Given the number of cheap rubbish-quality Eastern-made FAKE JUNK replica reproduction Brass "Scientific Instruments" currently polluting the WWW collector's market?

This guaranteed GENUINE leather & Brass antique Telescope is a pleasure and joy to BEHOLD & USE

It should offer a FINE INVESTMENT opportunity in these increasingly INFLATIONARY TIMES, as no one is hand-making antiques of this quality today
