There is a manufacturer of clocks like this called Schatz or something. It's German, and has been around for a while. I have one of their modern...
I haven't actually polished anything on this telescope. And I don't really intend to. I pulled it apart to wipe out the grime inside (and there...
I reckon you're right, Komokwa. That said, I think I like it just as naked brass. Looks classy.
I wrapped the telescope in brown suede and stitched it on using some yellow string (the only thing I have right now). This was the result: [IMG]...
Is it a modern reproduction? I don't think so. I've seen LOADS of modern reproductions. We sell them all over the place where I live. Plus, this...
I was about to ask that, actually. The barrel at the front has a recess and two ridges at equal distance. I wondered if perhaps it had leather on...
Well seeing as I live in Australia, this thing was almost definitely imported. Any "C. Simon" around here might've been in the navy. The Royal...
According to some videos I've seen, that sliding extension at the front is both a sun-shield and a dew-shield, to keep sun-glare away from the...
Hi Vern. First letter is definitely C. Middle one is "m". So I think you're right. Probably "C. Simon". 'Charles Simon' or something like that....
Here's what I found scratched into it. It was hidden underneath that sliding extension: [IMG] C-something-something-something...
Here it is... [IMG] [IMG] It's got a little sliding shutter that goes over it, presumably to protect it from damage. By the way, I was...
Fullest extension (including shield) is 20 inches. Compact length is 6 and a half inches. It's a three-draw telescope. And no, there's no marks...
Oh please! Don't feel the need to send me anything. I'll find it eventually. I'm only a poor writer with not much money for antiques, anyway....
Maybe someone here can help me. I have a brass telescope. [IMG] See? Anyway, it does something which I don't understand. The final...
Hi Stars, Yeah like with a treadle machine, this one requires muscle-power to get it going. It's very easy to use and it has very very easy...
Are you going to Scarborough Fair? Maybe you'll find one just like it there...
Maybe it's a spice-rack?
That's a possibility, but surely something like that would be desk-mounted? Why would you have a wall-mounted one? And why of that shape? It looks...
Well it's obviously wall-mounted. But it doesn't look quite deep enough to hold letters. I could imagine them falling out. Could it be for...
What a charming tidbit of information.
