In superb form, this is a small vest pocket of purse sized opera glass, monocular, telescoping 4-draws. We'd date it NAPOLÉON III, c.1850-70s, or slightly later. Clear original lenses give a fine view still, and have no loss or damage. The barrel is clad in fine thick mother of pearl bricks, none missing or damaged. Full measurements noted on photos. NOTE: photographed against some fine antique silk embroidery panels just to add color and ambiance, and those are not included with the monocular. It has no case.

Very good to excellent condition throughout, photos show it from all angles of view. Collapses firmly and well, and slides to full length with equal ease, not stuck or off in any way. Lenses are original, clear, and it can be used. One of the finest from my own collections.
