An intriguing site for props and miscellanea.

I did an idle web-search for pocket telescopes this morning, thinking that something of the sort would go well with my explorer-persona. I found these:

They have sextants! Okay, they are now on my bookmarked list for future mad spending sprees!

I know! I've got one big thing I want to get before I go wild on that site. Y'know, aside from rent and bills and whatnot. *grin* After that, I'll definitely be patronizing them in the not-so-distant future.

They were at Dickens this year. I picked one up for my father, who wants an Isembard Kingdom Brunell-type outfit.

The shopkeepers are VERY helpful and when they did not have one in stock (just the floor model) they offered to ship it to me for no extra cost. Made life a lot easier and had it shipped directly to my father.

The large size of the all brass telescopes (which I believe are the ones above) come with a leather carrying case, suitable to attatch to one's belt. If nothing else, it keeps the lense clean and saves the brass from scratches.
