15" Handheld Brass Telescope with Wooden Box: Nautical Pirate Scope Review

Customer Ratings:

When my 9 year old son opened this gift, I thought he was going to burst. It is by far his favorite gift. He carries it around with him wherever he goes. The brass telescope is heavy and focuses by adjusting the length of the extension slightly. The handle is wrapped in leather, which is hand-sewn together at the seam. The box that it came in is excellent quality as well--nicely finished with smooth seams. I find this gift to be a steal for the quality. If you are looking for a gift with an authentic, antique, pirate feel with high quality of craftsmanship, this is the gift to get.

you can see good distance and it easy to use, it's a little stiff but that might go away after use

I just got me telescope and it is really nice. The brass gleams, the leather is REAL, the wooden box is high quality.

They shipped it immediately and it arrived in perfect condition. I bought it as a sorta salty accessory on me desktop, but this morning at daybreak i went out to the bay and spotted me first lovely lonely mermaid on the rocks some distance away. I was able to observe her unnoticed and the telescope was strong enough for me to see the scales on her tail.

Highly recommended.

ps.

the telescope works by pulling in or pushing out the tubes until if focuses. If you are interested in top quality optics in order to, say, watch an eagle snag a salmon, this is not the right telescope for you ... but if you want to snag approving looks directed toward you that say "what a cut of the canvas that old salt makes", (or something like that) and still get a reasonably close up and clear view of the things you seek then you will be a happy sailor with this spyglass.

Honest reviews on 15" Handheld Brass Telescope with Wooden Box: Nautical Pirate Scope

This item was purchased for use in a theatre production of "The Wizard of Oz." We needed a telescope for the Wicked Witch to use and this was perfect. I would not classify it as a toy, though.

It really worked like a telescope. Once I learned how to focus it, I was impressed. It felt like brass, smelled like brass, it is brass. Not heavy guage metal, but resonable, it is a toy. A useful toy, but a toy. I gave it to my grandson, showed him how to adjust the focus and now his dad takes it to football games, but the boy gets to play with it to. So it is a useful toy for young and the not so young. I did have to reassembly it when it arrived, but that was simple and gave me a chance to clean the lenses inside.
