#DF18. Antique and very rare Kaleidoscope toy. Made all in glass/mirror covered in paper. Still has original label that reads " BRITISH MIRROR SCOPE, Style Toys ltd, LONDON" and a series of Reg numbers. This piece will be a great addition to a toy collection. It is not a great functional piece since the interior glass has like a smoke like stain so you can't really play with it, you can still see inside but it is not like modern kaleidoscopes at all. Still a very rare and primitive form of kaleidoscope. Some old small cracks in glass that have been glued. SOLD AS IS. MEASURES: 8" LONG X 2" HIGH. London, 1880's.NOTE: Pictures were taken both with and without flash light so you can see the tone of the patina with different types of light. Describing colors can be tricky so we try to take the best pictures we can.IMPORTANT: This item is in our warehouse in New Orleans at the time of the auction READY TO BE SHIPPED OR PICKED UP!!!
