A good example of a refracting telescope by Watson and sons, London. This model was called the Century telescope and comes with a star finder scope and both normal eyepiece for terrestrial viewing and inverted for the celestial viewing of the stars and moon. It has very clear and sharp optics and retains the original lacquer to the telescope. Mounted on the original mahogany stand and contained in a wooded traveling case.
