Public Notes:

"English telescope. Main tube covered with grey coloured ray skin. Three drawtubes covered with green coloured leather with worn-out gold tooling. Ferrules made of horn with ditto end pieces. The tooling stamps are not mentioned by Turner (1966), but their characteristics resemble some motifs and the triangular form of tooling described by him. Cf. Turner (1966), no. 23. Presumably first half of the eighteenth century" (Louwman and Zuidervaart, 2013).
