ADMIRAL FARRAGUT’S TELESCOPE

The spy glass that made naval history...

-

(with table top tripod) from us only $69.95 (Why pay more?)* • The optics of Admiral Farragut’s Telescope are 25x30. This means that you get 25x magnificat­ion and the great light-gathering capacity of a 30mm objective lens. The scope is fully chromed (over brass) for extra beauty, protection and durability. Admiral Farragut’s Telescope comes with a vinyl belt-looped carry case and a table-top tripod for extended observatio­ns.

When Admiral Farragut (“Damn the torpedoes; full speed ahead!”) fought his legendary naval battles he used a telesope just like this to monitor the movements of the enemies’ fleets. This beautiful optical instrument, a faithful replica of the famous original (except that Admiral Farragut’s was made of brass — ours is fully chromed over its pure brass body), is about 5” long in its collapsed position and 13” when extended to full operating length.

Enlargemen­t is 25x, which means that it brings everything 25-times closer, and in needleshar­p focus, than if viewed with the unaided eye. Compare that to binoculars, which usually give you not more than 6x or perhaps 8x magnificat­ion. ADMIRAL FARRAGUT’S TELESCOPE comes with a belt-loop vinyl carrying case. There is also a table-top tripod for extended observatio­ns. This beautiful instrument is something you always wanted but thought you couldn’t afford. It is a small luxury that you will really enjoy and that will give you wonderful service for many years. It is now available from us at a most affordable price.
