Telescope shaped toy on a pedestal stand of turned wood with a circular stand - the stem decorated - the kaleidoscope tube consists of an eye piece, a gold and black tube with a section at the other end that revolves - these instruments make designs with fragments of coloured glass. In this model the glass consists of tubes filled with water and containing an air bubble: the designs resulting are very effective.
