A rare walking stick with concealed telescope.
The telescope measures 12.25″ when closed and 16″ when fully open,
the single draw signed, ‘W & S JONES, 30 Holborn, London’. It has a
1″ objective lens and gives perfeclty clear views; all original lenses
which are damage free. No dents / damage.
The telescope barrel and the walking stick are finished in black leather to emulate a tree branch.
Total length when the telescope is threaded into the stick is 37″.
The company worked at 30 Holborn from 1800 - 1860.
A very nice example of the period.
