Description: A teleidoscope is a kind of kaleidoscope, with a lens and an open view, so it can be used to form kaleidoscopic patterns from objects outside the instrument, rather than from items installed as part of it. Invented by John Lyon Burnside and Harry Hay, the patent was filed in 1970 and granted in 1972.Large Wooden Teleidoscopes are made using a variety of hardwoods like cherry, walnut and teak. (Not certain which wood this one was crafted from.)Unlike kaleidoscopes, teleidoscopes do not use colored glass or marbles to create prisms. Instead, there are different angles of mirrors inside to create endless different prisms. This vintage teleidoscope reflects the light from whatever it is pointed at. The images change as you move the teleidoscope. The lens creates a captivating beautiful pattern of multiple images. Timeless Design: A beautiful addition to any collection, reflecting the elegance of a bygone era. Collectible Quality: Highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts. Beautiful Craftsmanship: Each piece is a work of art, meticulously crafted with attention to detail. From a smoke-free home. FAST SHIP--goes to PO next biz day!
