Teens and adults who collect nautical pieces, teach optics or want a conversation piece on a desk get a telescope that extends to 19 inches and brings distant objects into view.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: ALADEAN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStyle: Scout Regiment spyglass, 1940 Broadhurt Clarkson design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: handcrafted brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtended length: 19 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLens: DF lens with traditional optical magnification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase: hand-stitched leather\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse: daylight viewing, for grownups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat it does and who it is for\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePull the barrels out to full length, point the spyglass at a far object and move the eyepiece slowly in and out until the image sharpens. The maker's test photo shows a cell tower 1.5 km away brought into clear view. It is a telescope for daytime use, for a hilltop, a harbor wall or a back porch, and it is meant for grown-up hands rather than small children.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCollectors like it because the brass is handcrafted. Teachers can use it for lessons on optics, since the focus is manual. On a bookshelf or an office desk it looks like something pulled from an old sea captain's cabin, and the leather case keeps dust off between uses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eUse and care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExtend all the barrels fully before you focus. Fine tune with small movements of the eyepiece. Never aim the spyglass at the sun. Wipe the brass with a soft dry cloth after handling, since fingerprints tarnish the finish over time, and polish it with a brass cleaner once or twice a year if you prefer a bright shine. Store it collapsed in the leather case. For a graduation, a confirmation or a milestone birthday, it is the kind of gift that stays on display for years.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DS-AMZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50654375477488,"sku":"AMZ-B07Z6BCPRR","price":162.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0434\/7985\/9361\/files\/71FAibyeVjL._AC_SL1500.jpg?v=1792809723","url":"https:\/\/www.bigfrenchies.com\/products\/scout-regiment-brass-telescope-19-spyglass-1940-broadhurt-b07z6bcprr","provider":"BIG FRENCHIES","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
