Perfect for gift presentation, this fine functional instrument makes a fascinatingly attractive display piece for the home.

The Fine Brass Zoom 60, features high performance 60mm modern zoom optics in a antique look brass body with real Mahogany tripod.

The solid brass and wood construction is beautifully crafted and hand polished to evoke the workmanship and materials of a more elegant bygone age.

Yesteryear looks but with the latest razor sharp modern optics. If this telescope only "looked" good we wouldn't be selling it! The yesteryear looks hide bang up-to-date modern high-quality fully-coated optics. A telescope has to do more than look good, it has to perform - and well. This great instrument looks at home against any window with a view and it will provide bright high resolution views of anything you care to point it at: from birds or other wildlife in your garden to the Moon's freezing mountains or the remote icy rings of Saturn.

The Fine Brass Zoom 60 features a versatile 20x to 60x zoom eyepiece and easy to use helical focuser (like a camera lens). Just twist the zoom control and move smoothly from just 20x magnification to 60x (with all magnifications in-between of course). The instrument snaps in to focus with a lightest twist of the helical focuser, ensuring you don't miss a thing.

The designers took a classic 60mm spotting scope design, gave it a powerful (20x to 60x) and comfortable high-eye-point zoom eyepiece then packaged the optics in a tasteful and elegant old-fashioned telescope look.

This classic 60mm refractor benefits from an up to date makeover and features a fully adjustable height all Mahogany and solid brass tripod with manual movements for easy target finding.

You only have to glance at this deluxe instrument to see what it's main point of interest is - the fine heirloom look! The polished mahogany and brass do a good job and easily convince that this is either a miraculously unused or lovingly restored antique telescope. And it's a look without optical compromise. The thing about old telescopes (same thing with antique cars and cameras) they can be disappointing in terms of performance. But there's no downside with the Zoom 60 - the optics are spot-on and will hold there own against any of our premium 60mm aperture scopes.
