Toys and Games Reviews of Pirate / Nautical Small Spyglass Telescope w/ Case 12X
Customer Review: No use instructions
Summary: 2 Stars
I recieved mine today and immediately set out to use it by focusing on trees and birds in my backyard: at first, all I got was a blur. I looked in the packaging for instructions--there were none.
Resorting to trail and error I will eventually figure out how to bring this scope into focus. I prefer not to return it because it's not worth my time to get back the cost (about $30). At this point it appears that some focus can be obtained by pushing the smallest piece of the telescope forward or backward. However there are coin like groves around each sliding part of the scope so I have yet to figure out if twisting them one way or another would make any difference in the focus.
If I can't figure the focus out for myself, I will, of course, try to contact the Company. But why did they not include a simple instruction sheet?
Description of Pirate / Nautical Small Spyglass Telescope w/ Case 12X
This auction is for a simple working spyglass telescope of the Galilean design. During the era of Pirates and Tall Ships, this small sized telescope would have been in high demand for its ease of portability while still being able to magnify well. To make this even more portable, this spyglass has a leather carry case with a strap to sling it over a shoulder. The largest tube is wrapped in black leather to be more comfortable in the hand. The tubes are made of solid uncoated brass that will gain an authentic antiqued patina over time. If you do not want this patina, it is easily removed with polish. All optics are made of glass. The spyglass measures 14.5" unfolded and folds to a portable 5.5". It is a little over 1.5" at its widest. The leather carry case measures 6.25" tall and is 2.25" at its widest. This fully functioning spyglass magnifies to 12X, and is new with no problemsTelescopes Toys
