44-inch Brass Harbormaster Telescope On A Teak Tripod

These 44-inch Brass Harbormaster Telescope on a Teak Tripod is our newly-redesigned massive solid brass refractor antique reproduction telescope mounted on a solid teakwood and brass tripod. These are not the inexpensive 8 - 12 power decorative versions made from thin 0.8 mm brass. These 44-inch Brass Harbormaster Telescope on a Teak Tripod have 32-power precision coated optics and are made with dent-resistant heavy 1.2 mm thick brass. The telescope uses precision ground glass optics and produces a clear 32-power non-inverted (upright) image. For many years, mariners have considered 32-power to be the ideal balance between magnification and field of view.
Focusing is accomplished by rotating a large adjusting ring near the eyepiece. A sunshade protects the objective lens from glare and the inside of the telescope is coated flat black to improve contrast. A removable brass cap protects the objective lens when the telescope is not in use.
The telescope is mounted on a heavy solid brass casting and a three-legged solid teak tripod base. The maximum height of the telescope is 61 inches (155 cm) and it can be collapsed to a height of 38 inches (96.5 cm).
