The Hampton Ironworks Brass/Wood Galileo Telescope 65 inch is by far our standout choice amongst nautical enthusiasts worldwide. Constructed from 100% brass, this refractor telescope is mounted on a wooden tripod. This telescope is a fully functioning nautical masterpiece that adds class and sophistication to any room it’s in. This is a perfect gift for the nautical explorer, an appropriate piece to spruce up an office for the busy executive, or perfectly position this exquisite telescope by your window sill to stargaze. The main scope is solid brass encased in wood, which shines beautifully when placed in the sunlight. Focusing is accomplished by adjusting the eyepiece ring on the telescope tube, with up to 15x magnification. A removable brass cap, connected by a chain, protects the objective lens. The wooden tripod stand features smooth, polished round legs, each with brass fittings and a screw release to let you adjust the height. A brass chain holds the three wooden legs
