Telescope concealed in the handle of a walking stick, body entirely made of brass, partial black painted, makers label embossed in tin foil: ‚Carl Zeiss Jena', the handle originally was attached to a stick which served as a stand, by unscrewing the lower sleeve nut a pivot is uncovered and allows to tilt the telescope into a horizontal position, the ocular is adjustable for focussing, a brass cap which covers the front lens serves as a hand rest when closed. This collapsible telescope is unique, it is beautifully crafted and of a high technical and esthetical level. Some repairs.
