Public Notes:

Seven draws. On draw one, someone has drawn on surface the location of the first ocular lens (but it's located at inked extension mark, rather!) All draws have inked extension marks. All draws have aperture, reinforcement rings. Eyepiece lenses, especially 3rd one (next to eye) have greenish tint.

Paper tubes. Outermost of white, green, and brown-flecked parchment; inner tubes of white parchment. Ocular tube bears goal-leaf coat of arms. Similar to scopes by Christopher Cock, though catalogue states this telescope likely by "J. M. Dobler Opticus Berolini."
