L’OPTIQUE KALEIDOSCOPE TELEIDOSCOPE VAN CORT INSTRUMENT MAKERS

Description

The L’Optique Kaleidoscope made by Van Cort Instrument Makers who made kaleidoscopes for about 21 years beginning in 1979. A teleidoscope can be used to see kaleidoscope type patterns created from objects that are outside of the instrument rather than from objects that are inside the instrument. This teleidoscope has a handmade marbleized paper covering and brass fittings on the ends.
It is marked at one end with the name L’Optique and the makers name, Van Cort Instrument Makers. The brass has developed some patina over the years. The paper covering is like new as is the glass. The patterns that can be created are quite beautiful. There is no base. It is used by being held in the hand and turned while looking through the small opening in one end. It measures 9 7/8 inches long and 1 7/8 inches in diameter.
Please examine the photos closely & purchase based on your own judgement as to condition & value.
