DESC: Our classic brass hand telescopes recall the days when the ships that sailed the high seas did, quite literally, sail. Today these expertly handcrafted viewing instruments let you survey ocean-going vessels from the shore or peer in on a robin's nest from the porch. Each has fully anti-reflection coated, achromatic glass optics contained in a sectioned tube of polished brass that extends for viewing and collapses for convenient, compact storage. Display it in the den or on living room hearth when not in use, either inside or outside of its hinged mahogany storage chest. It'll get the attention of anyone who sees it.
