Civil War-era brass mariner's telescope (1860s). 1338 grams, 10½" long and 2-3/8" in diameter. An original brass telescope used on board a Civil War-era ship, with the main body wrapped in tarred cloth (a little frayed) and the brass tubing extendable to about 3 feet, the eyepiece separate (probably a connector tube missing) and the tubing cracked around primary lens but with lovely light patina throughout, obviously well used in its time.
