3 Handheld Brass Telescope - Pocket Sized Scope - Nautical Decor Reviews -
This fun telescope is made of brass and can fit in the palm of your hand. Use the loop to attach it to a key chain or zipper of a backpack. It is about 3" long when fully extended. The lens is about 1/2" wide. It can be retracted to fit in your pocket or purse for easy transport. Due to the fact that this item is hand finished, some differences in cosmetic appearance may occur.
Galileo is credited with inventing the first refracting telescope. Through his understanding of how light passes through a lens, he was able to construct a device that focused on an image and enabled the user to see an object as though it were brighter, clearer or closer.
The magnification of this brass telescope is about 3x.

cool mini telescope . This telescope can be worn on a necklace, is retractable, and a really cool working telescope. If you wanted to use it as an opera glass or at a sporting event it would serve that purpose as well.

3" Telescope with the Heart of an Explorer . This sweet little thing is perfect. It is only 3" long but it thinks it's much bigger, because it looks exactly right. I intend to buy more of them because they are so cute!

3" Handheld Brass Telescope - Pocket Sized Scope - Nautical Decor Opinions
Fun novelty item useful for crafting jewelry . I first saw mini brass telescope necklaces which could extend at a festival, selling for $30. I was tempted to buy one, but my friend dissuaded me, saying they could probably be found cheaper elsewhere. I looked up the necklaces on Etsy, but they were selling for about $30 as well.
However, I found the mini spyglass here. The telescope extends smoothly from about 1" to 3". The brass is a tiny bit discolored, but it makes it look antique.
I hooked the loop on a brass chain and made a necklace, perfect for gifting to my friends at a more affordable price. It would probably also make a really cute keychain.

Wow... these things are very cool! . I ordered up three of these to give out as prizes during an orienteering event I'm putting on for some local geocachers. I was looking for things that would be of decent quality, decent price, and be things that folks would be happy to win. This item scores on all three. They are very solid, extend smoothly, and actually work! Though 3x magnification isn't all that strong! The lenses are ground well, and there is no distortion. I was kind of expecting them to be a bit flimsy, but they are fairly substantial for their size. I may set them up with lanyards before giving them out. They'd make for a very nice necklace. Its always nice when you buy something online and then it exceeds your expectations. It didn't hurt that delivery was earlier than projected, either. I'd buy this again from this seller.
Teeny tiny . This is so tiny it's unusable. I bought it for my 3 year old as part of a pirate chest set and it's so small I have a hard time looking through it, let alone him. I wouldn't recommend this product at all.
SO TINY! . Somehow I thought it would be bigger. It DOES say '3" brass telescope' but I just didn't realize that 3" in miniature NOT just small. I honestly did not realize that the item that arrived was even the item I had ordered! I actually ordered three things from the same company. The Compass / Sundial in a wooden box, and also the Sextant in a wooden box. Both of those item's are beautiful but when I found the tiny little "telescope" I actually first thought an eye piece had come loose from the sextant! My next thought was that it was a little trinket they had thrown in as a thank you. I thought it was a little key chain miniature or some freebie. It NEVER occurred to me that this tiny little thing was what I had paid for. I expected it to be small... as in hand held type small. This is the size of a FINGER!
Oh well. That will teach me to get out my measuring tape next time.

Cons Review
Not Functional - FALSE ADVERTISING . I did not have huge expectations for this piece when I bought it; for six dollars, a couple of cheap, blurry plastic lenses and a brass-tone body was all I expected. I bought this as a gift for an imaginative six-year-old, and it didn't need to be anything serious.When it arrived, the front "lens" had fallen out inside the body of the "telescope." I unscrewed the front to put the lens back in position, and found that is was just a flat piece of glass that in my case was cut too small to stay in place. The back "lens" was the same.Flat glass =/= lens, folks. This telescope-like object has no magnification, and offers a better view if you remove the two pieces of blurry glass. I understand that this is supposed to be a costume piece. It didn't have to do much to live up to my expectations, and 3x as advertised isn't much. But it doesn't do anything at all!From the product description:
"Galileo is credited with inventing the first refracting telescope. Through his understanding of how light passes through a lens, he was able to construct a device that focused on an image and enabled the user to see an object as though it were brighter, clearer or closer.The magnification of this brass telescope is 3x."WRONG. The magnification of this brass(?) telescope-like-object is 0x. Suckers.If you buy this, realize that you will have to have the imagination of a six-year-old to get your money's worth.

Fun functional jewelry telescope . I bought this trinket for my girlfriend who considers this a must-have addition to her Steampunk attire, and not an "office supply" (which is the Amazon section it can be found it... LOL!). It IS tiny - tinier than it appears in the item photo, but cute. It has a loop to hang it as a necklace or a charm on a bracelet. And, it actually works OK, although not for any great distance. If you're into nautical or Steampunk items, this is a cute addition to one's collection.
Small telescope . Cheap. Not usable at all. Decoration ONLY. NOT FOR KIDS. Not for kids of ANY AGE. it's a MINIATURE, emphasis on SMALL.
