Antique Telescope c1825 Thos Jones London. Antique Telescope c1825 Thos Jones, Charing Cross, London. 3-inch aperture 48-inch focal length Astronomical Telescope on Pillar and Claw stand, with elevation slow motion and Azimuth clamp. With teak case, 4-lens day Eyepiece and 1 Huygenian eyepiece for night use. Image is excellent, crisp and clear snaps into sharp focus.
Rack and pinion focuser is in good condition. Rose joint on pillar is in sound order. Telescope moves firmly and freely and is easy to adjust. The altitude adjustment arm is telescopic with a rack and pinion section which works perfectly. Thomas Jones refractor telescopes in such fine condition are very rare. I rescued this Telescope from Shrewsbury Museum, when it was about to close about 5 years ago. There is sadly no provenance.
