Baron's Telescope
I have had a telescope for years that I bought at an antique shop for 10 dollars. I just noticed an engraving on one side that gives the maker "Callaghan of London" and on the other is a cursive signature " Harcourt Johnstone, Hackness" who was a baron and a member of british parliment in the late 1800's. It is a small handheld telescope with 4 sections. Any ideas on value?
