This powerful Stanley London® telescope is the perfect blend of modern optical design with the warmth of rich mahogany and polished brass. While almost all modern telescopes are made of plastic, cardboard, or aluminum, this telescope is made from clear-coated brass and a solid mahogany turned base. The protective clear coating over the brass eliminates tarnish, so the telescope looks new and polished after every use. The Premium Brass Telescope on Turned Hardwood Stand features high quality multi-coated glass optics which reduce internal reflections, improve contrast, and produce upright (non-inverted) images for crystal clear viewing. The 20-power optics make objects appear 20 times closer or 20 times larger when viewed with this telescope. Focusing is accomplished by rotating the focusing ring near the eyepiece. The telescope's large eyepiece has ample eye relief so even eyeglass wearers can enjoy comfortable viewing. The Premium Brass Telescope on Turned Hardwood Stand comes with a solid brass lens cap to protect the objective lens when the telescope is not in use. The telescope is perfect for viewing scenery through a window or as a beautiful decorative piece on your desk. The telescope is 13 inches (33 cm) tall, 13 inches (33 cm) long, and weighs 3 pounds (1.4 kg). The base of the telescope is 6 inches (15.2 cm) in diameter and the objective lens is 42 mm in diameter.
