Folded Spyglass (NHMW-AFW-DING-0129)

3D Model

3D scan of a spyglass sold by the Viennese optician Otto Schleiffelder, who had his showroom on Graben in the 1st district. It was made around 1900 and gifted by Miss E. Kerner von Marilaun to the Geological and Palaeontological department, presumably in 1948, when it was inventoried. The name Kerner is carved into the last tube.

The spyglass is not on display and can be viewed by appointment.
