Buy 10" Handheld Brass Telescope w/ Wooden Box - Pirate Collection

Customer Ratings:

I was at first disappointed with this telescope, but then a co-worker, an ex-marine, showed me how I could focus by changing the length of the tube: I extend the tube all the way out, then kind of work it down a little until it's in focus. My co-worker unscrewed the different parts and showed me how it worked, and told me it was actually a pretty good quality little telescope! SO glad I talked to him, because I was just seeing a lot of fuzz, and couldn't focus, but now I can actually use it! Getting two for my nephew and niece for Christmas.

This is a functional, low power (3X or so) telescope, but is really more a novelty or display item. It seems to be fairly well built, with clear, undistorted optical quality. The main tube is covered with real black leather overstitched with a a cross stitch. The wooden box is nicely fitted and solid, lined with a blue velvet material with some brass inlays/appliques. The item I received had some small stubborn black tarnish stains on one of the brass tubes. The brass inlays on the box were very tarnished and seemed to be coated with brown stain or paint. I scrubbed and polished the brass and the item is presentable.

Honest reviews on 10" Handheld Brass Telescope w/ Wooden Box - Pirate Collection

It is nice--BUT-the 10" Telescope w/wooden box i had orderd; Hmmmmmmm, the 10" was 9.5" that there was a kick down and then the box it's shown in is not the one you receve when you get it. O it's wooden just the tops are not the same with the anker part has been changed ... So if your looking for something a little smaller than what the add says this is for you. I was told by customer CARE this is what they have so the gift from me to my son is there just a little less then what i hoped for, so ask B4 you hit submit to buy....Ask about what you are getting.

The box is cool but it doesnt magnify at all & its blurry on top of that. Thank goodness it was for a 3 year old who didnt care
