Offered for sale is a  fine condition example of this field telescope, as used by British Snipers, during the 2nd WW, together with a  Short, wooden legged, Tripod. The telescope has all  standard features, and is of brass, with the main body and sliding sun shield, covered in fine, smooth, dark tan coloured leather, with sound stitching. There are 3 brass draw tubes, with clear and smooth movement to the 2nd and 3rd draw tube. The Objective lens measures 1.75 inches.  Please note that in using this telescope, the image is clear and focus is smooth. It is  amazing that this is achieved, despite the fact that the Plano Concave aspect, of the Crown/Flint combination, forming the Objective lens, is cracked. This does not appear to affect the optical soundness of this telescope.  The eye piece has the standard rotating filter slider [ often missing]. The 3rd tube is signed; "Tele.Sct. Regts Mk11s/BC Ltd & Co/O.S 126 GA/10700/WD arrow".   Complete with an original 2 piece leather case, now to a fine smooth, patina, sound stitching, and blemish free, and in fine condition. The closing tab is complete with it's buckle. The complete leather shoulder strap is in very good condition, as is the closing buckle, and is probably original.  The o/a extended length is 30" [76cms], and when fully closed ...10.5" [26cms]. C 1944.  Used mainly by the snipers using the No 4T  303 bolt action rifle, and was an essential part of the outfit issued. The tripod is in excellent condition, with 14 inch wooden legs, mounted with steel hinges to the tripod head, and steel spikes to the distal end [ for implanting into the earth].  It has a tilting mount/collar, with sprung,  firm closing effected with a wing nut.   The collar is stamped "Sig Tel Stand Mk V No 322" and  "Consol 1916".   This stand would take either a Signal Regiment Telescope, or a Scout Regiment Telescope.   This particular telescope would date to C1944.  An overall excellent outfit.  Telescope manufactured by Broadhurst Clarkson Ltd & Co, London.

A rare and early single latitude horizontal sundial signed “N Bion a Paris”.
This sundial is from the very early production of Nicolas Bion who started his business around 1675/1680 at Paris. There is no magnetic declination in the compass as in the other French sundials before 1680.
Furthermore, the single latitude is quite original : “pour 46 de / 30 min” what means for 46 degrees and 30 minutes, ie very close to the lattitude of Niort in France or Geneva in Swisswertland.
Despite the glass of the compass have a little play, an excellent original condition for the very early sundial by Nicolas Bion.
Size : 6,9×5,5 cm

A teaching model of a fungus, ( Mucor Mucedo), dating back to the twenties of the last century and sold by retailer JCTh. Marius Utrecht. The greatly enlarged scale of the fungus, Mucor mucedo let known as hyphae, the hyphen, see those on the ground, such as bread or a fruit walk. The model dates from the time of Fleming. These are fungi that after a day or so to appear on bread they like watt overgrow. The substances produced by fungi digest bread. The substances which are thereby produced are often poisonous. By coincidence, the Brit Fleming discovered in 1928 by another fungus, a substance which could kill bacteria penicillin. That discovery changed the world. Bacterial infections were from as much better and especially heal faster.

Although this tooth has been abused by lack of humidity, I have owned it for years (hoping the fractures would reduce in size-no such luck) because of it's spectacular artwork. Depicting the 3 masted schooner "PILGRIM" (Bristol registry 1787) with 4 excellent examples of whale species and their anatomical differences for correct sighting (Right and Sperm whales being the favoured). The engraving is exceptional. The tooth is stable, albeit cracked and only compromises the Right Whale. Six inches long.  NOT composite !!!  Fin, Sperm, Right and Humpback whales !!!
