Nautical Pocket Telescope

Crafted for clarity and classic maritime style, this Deluxe Class Pocket Telescope features solid brass construction with precisely ground glass optics—not plastic—for a crisp image. The body is wrapped in rich leather for comfort and control in any weather. The telescope extends in three sections to a full length of 7 inches and collapses to just 3½ inches, making it an ideal companion for coastal walks, deck duty, or nautical décor. Each spyglass arrives nestled in a smooth, gloss-finished rosewood presentation box accented with brass inlays and the Hampton Nautical anchor-with-rope logo on the lid.

Pocket telescopes—often called “spyglasses”—became indispensable to mariners from the 18th century onward. Officers kept compact scopes at the ready to scan horizons, read signal flags, and navigate reefs and harbor approaches. This modern interpretation honors that heritage with authentic brass hardware, leather wrapping, and traditional three-draw construction while incorporating quality glass optics for dependable viewing.
