This antique wooden Dollond hand drawn telescope is a wonderful collectable. Dollond was formed by Peter Dollond some time around 1750 and were well known for their optical instruments. This example has been inscribed with MJ on the side. It has wear to the wood and tarnishing to the metal as you would expect from an older piece like this. Please see the photos for further details on the condition.
Dollond telescopes are said to have sailed with Captain Cook on a voyage to observe the transit of Venus and to have been used by Lord Nelson. Peter Dollond died in 1821 but the company survived and in 1927 merged with Aitchison and Company to become Dollond and Aitchison.
