Brass telescope vintage fully functional spyglass antique style with rose wood box

This is a good vintage-style telescope for the price. It feels heavy and sturdy and comes in a nice, little box. I bought it for my nephew's Christmas. Although it's obviously not going to be a top-of-the-line stargazing sort of telescope, it works similarly to a decent pair of binoculars, and is fine for a kid's or casual use. I wanted to get him something that actually functioned and wasn't just a prop.I took one star off because the instructions that came inside the box were pretty atrocious. They were full of typos and I don't know what is up with the arrangement of the graphics, but they're as clear as mud. The instructions offer a contact email/number that you can get in touch with in case you don't understand though, which is good.Fortunately, I didn't have to get in touch. I thought perhaps you twisted the telescope to get it to focus (like with an SLR camera), but you simply push it in and out. This probably seems pretty obvious to some people, but I've never used a telescope like this before so I had no idea and was worried for a bit that the telescope didn't actually function or was a bad-quality blurry mess. Fortunately, it functions fine and can focus to a good distance. Anyway, I'm glad I checked inside the box because the instructions inside give it a sort of cheap, haphazard vibe. I've taken them out and will include my own.

Feels good quality...heavier than expected. Comes in a lovely wooden presentation box. Perfect for what I wanted it for (my boys' pirate themed bedroom). Not too sure you can see a clear view through it, but things are viewed closer. Although, I have to wear glasses. It is a shame that the vision can't be adjusted. Overall, my boys love it and we have had a good 6 months play out of it already with a 7 year old & 3 year old! 👍

Really lovely working telescope.. bought this for my son as a gift - really beautifully made

Great authentic looking spyglass. Bought this as a prop for a Pirates production and it's great. Lovely packaged

Poorly made, broke within a day

Absolutely awesome

Nice looking and well boxed, cannot focus scope at all

I bought the telescope for my Nephew, it is sturdy and comes in a lovely presentation box, I know he will have many adventures with this.
