This 3 draw antique bass and wood telescope was  purchased by me from a gallery in 1991, for $555. Please see the letter of description from the shop owner. As you can see, it WAS in perfect operating condition.

The original letter of description will be sent with the telescope.

When fully extended, it measures 32".  

When closed, it measures 12"

Unfortunately, my grandson was playing with it, and managed to disassemble it.  All the parts are there, only I am unable to figure out how to correctly put it back together.  Each piece is threaded, so they all screw together somehow.  Hopefully, some one out there is more clever than I am.  I just don't feel like fiddling with it anymore.

Please contact me if you have questions.
