The Mary Nautical Brass/Wood Griffith Astro Telescope 50" with view finder is a beautiful solid brass refractor telescope mounted on a wooden tripod. This telescope is a fully functioning nautical masterpiece that can be given as a gift for any occasion, or placed in your home, office or boat. Both scopes are solid brass with a 15x magnification. Focusing is accomplished by adjusting the eyepiece ring on the telescope tube. This solid brass nautical gem adds a shine to any room it enters. A removable brass cap, connected by a chain, protects the objective lens. The wooden tripod stand features smooth, polished round legs, each with solid brass fittings and a screw release to let you adjust the height. A solid brass chain holds the three wooden legs together so the telescope can maintain its position.
