Cutler of New England makes fine authentic replica telescopes of the 18th and 19th century, such as our Octagon Star Telescope. All of our telescopes are made by master craftspeople, and each part is machine or hand made for the telescope on which it is to be used. We also make a beautiful Sundial Pen Holder, built by hand with the same top quality materials by our skilled artisans.

The Octagon Star Telescope

Our Octagon Star is an eight sided, refractor telescope that is mounted on a tripod which can be used for floor display.

A desk mount with brass cabriole style legs (shown below) is also available.

We are offering, for the quality minded buyer, two finely crafted limited production telescopes for display and use.

These telescopes would be admired in any office, boardroom, or your own home.

Copying old world craftsmanship with modern improvements makes the telescope simple to setup and use.

We take pride in knowing that only the best quality materials available today are used in our product. All of the brass parts are from foundry casting and solid brass stock.

The 24 inch long octagon barrel is made from South American mahogany. It is mounted on either a 50 inch high mahogany tripod that uses a self-aligning height adjusting system which controls the leg spread of the tripod, or a solid brass desk top mount with folding legs. The change from tripod to desk top mount can be accomplished in seconds without tools.

The optical system is made up of a 2.5 inch coated achromatic objective lens, with an erecting eye piece system that can be replaced or changed without tools.

Octagonal Sundial Pen Holder

Our Octagonal Sundial Pen Holder is a hand-constructed sundial made up of a solid brass gnomon that has been modified to be a pen holder. (Gnomon, the indicator that casts a shadow on the sundial face, is a word derived from the Greek word meaning "One who knows".)

The Gnomon is mounted to an octagonal brass plate that has an etched clock dial design. The octagonal wooden base is made from South American Mahogany that has been hand-stained to enhance the natural beauty of the wood. The bottom of the wooden base is felted, to protect the desk from scratches.

This ornamental sundial may not serve as an accurate time piece, but it will make a handsome conversational piece that can be used as a unique pen holder for anyone's desk.
