Victorian Day or Night Telescope – Spencer Browning & Rust

This two draw telescope is marked on the eye piece with SBR possibly for Spencer Browning & Rust of London, if so this scope pre dates 1840 when the company name was changed. The barrels are silver plated with a stitched leather hand grip, on the bottom barrel someone has scratched their name ‘Rodwells Hall rd Sheffield. The optics are dirty, light will pass through but I cant focus the piece so it will need a clean before functioning properly, it measures 23 inches fully open and is 10 inches closed, the top slide over cover is missing.
