totally covered leather round (8" diameter) 30" long container with a lid that covers and snaps. With a canvas-like and leather handle on side.
husband collected various civil and WW1 and 2 items
Thank you for submitting your item for appraisal. As form follows function, this appears to be a leather case for a spyglass or a telescope, possibly WWI.
Sometimes telescope and leather case are separated when the shiny brass telescope is put on display and the leather case is put in storage. In general there is a limited demand for leather cases, the collectors prefer the telescope.
The estimate is based on similar offered or sold at auction.
