1515760464Code 5777 Vintage telescopeBrass telescope with leather handle signed Cha. Strahan, made at the end of the nineteenth century, focusing with three extensions, complete with sunshade cap and dust-proof flap. Maximum length 86,5 cm - 34 inches, minimum 26 cm - 10.23 inches, focal diameter 5 cm - 1.96 inches. Excellent condition and fully functional, complete with made-to-measure support.

The legend tells that a day in 1608 the son of an optician in Middelburg, Hans Lipperhey, playing with some lenses of his father, put a concave lens near his eye, having in the hand the other convex lens: with his arm stretched to the point of the cathedral’s bell tower, he saw the weather-cock larger and nearer. He showed it to his father and he fixed these lenses on a small board, making easier the observation, creating the first rudimentary instrument for optical approaching. But Lipperhey was unlucky, in fact when he sent in an application to General States of Holland for the patent for this new optical instrument, in a few days some other opticians claimed this invention.

Nautical antiques include several items: antique telescopes, maps, compasses, old sextants. For example a vintage telescope is an item that many people love to collect or to present, also for their symbolic meaning “to look far”.
