ANTIQUE GEORGIAN CARPENTER & WESTLEY BANCKS MONOCULAR TELESCOPE SPYGLASS & CASE:
$405.50
This is for a lovely antique Georgian leather spyglass from the mid to late 1800s. It comes in its original leather case which is advertising the opticians Carpenter & & Westley of 24 Regent Street, London which helps to date this from 1835. The monocular has gold tone fittings and its original black leather wrap and the inner draw is marked \'Bancks & Son of 441 Strand, London, Inst Makers to his Majesty\'. It is in absolute excellent condition with no damage or wear to it anywhere…its as good as you find them. There are no dings or dents to the body, no loss or wear to the lovely gilding, no holes, splits, chips or cracks to the body, both lenses are perfectly crisp and clear and there are no repairs or restorations anywhere on the piece…its preserved beautifully and exactly as you would want to find it. It measures 48mm (2\") in diameter at the base by 74mm (2.75\") tall closed. The case has done its job in protecting the monocular but is now very worn and its missing the top.
