Captain’s Walking Stick/Telescope
Why the Victorians felt compelled to invent bizarre contraptions such as plant pots concealing mousetraps or fire alarms shaped like stuffed goats’ heads is beyond me. Amidst the extravagance of their creations, a telescope mounted on a walking stick deserves the highest praise… Its polished knob fits perfectly in the palm of the hand. The finest rosewood is used for this slender yet exceptionally sturdy stick. A cleverly designed mechanism allows the telescope to be pulled upwards and swivelled. Held by the stick, it can be aimed and used as a monocle. Don’t forget to remove the cap. Yes, it magnifies… at 3x magnification
