Antique English Baleen & Silverplate Telescope Cox of Devonport Plymouth c. 1840: $362.00
This is an antique six-draw 1 1/2-inch telescope by Cox, Devonport. The bodytube is covered in baleen and the tubes are silver plate (possibly Old Sheffield). It is 4 3/4 inches long closed and 22 1/2 inches long extended. My guess is that this was constructed circa 1825-1850.The Cox family of Plymouth and Devonport were active from c. 1806 with addresses in both towns. For those not familiar, the two towns are next to each other and are basically one now. Devonport was basically the Royal Navy port while Plymouth was the commercial dock.I am selling a small collection of scientific instruments over the next few weeks so please bookmark me. I ship via insured Priority Mail with tracking, and am happy to combine shipping.
