Sharp looking piece. Collapses into the largest section, to be more compact. Don't expect it to be real "functional" (doesn't magnify much) but looked fabulous hanging from a brass chain (not included) from my Steampunk "utility belt"!

This item is a cute accessory to have hanging from your steampunk attire. Not very functional so more of a cosmetic piece.

Smallest telescope ever! This product is great fun - it does actually work as a telescope, looks cool, and is as described.

Bought this item to attach to my husband's Steampunk utility belt, but I misread the description. The telescope is too small to serve the purpose that it was purchased for, however, it is a pretty little item. I have used it as an interesting part of his hat decoration instead of the purpose we intended.
The items we ordered were here very quickly and very affordable. They look like the real thing, and we will be shopping at the store again

This is a fun pocket piece! It is solid brass and does magnify slightly. But it is not for any real use. This is a fun piece to pull out to accent a joke or amuse friends with. So it's exactly as advertised and is fine for what it is meant to be... just don't expect more than you are paying for.

this was a huge hit for my brother for his christmas gift he spent all day spying on people from across the room. it works well and is very sturdy. I am very happy with it and so is my brother :)
It Works but it.' s too small for me.
Utterly, utterly beautiful little telescope.I've already added it to my chatelaine and had to fight off some other steampunks who want it.

Good workmanship in miniature
Low magnification - probably inevitable, given its size - but otherwise a perfectly functional, miniature telescope, very well made in solid brass with no cheap synthetic materials.

The info is right about 2X magnification. I used this as a costume piece and it worked great. It is a handsome bit of brass, and does the job on what it can reach.

I'm brassy! Gotta love me!
This is a great addition to my pocket full of brassy bits. I haven't even tested the functionality but it's perfect for my Doctor Who outfit since he seems to be able to produce a rather large telescope at any given time. In costume, I'll pull out my big one and my accomplice with make off with it. Then I pull this from my pocket and hold it delicately like a sissy with my pinky up.

great as a small gift, or mounted on a prediod model revolver as an ranging odd site :-)
