Antique Broadhurst Clarkson & Co “Britannic” Brass & Leather Telescope – Complete with Leather Caps & Strap
A handsome and increasingly collectible Broadhurst Clarkson & Co. “Britannic” brass and leather field telescope, complete with its original leather carrying strap and protective leather end caps.
Finished in stitched brown leather over a brass body, this quality English-made telescope extends smoothly and displays beautifully as both a functional optical instrument and decorative maritime/scientific collectible.
