Beth,

It is possibly a 4" F16 refractor from the early 1960's. These are not very practical scopes to use compared to modern telescopes, but they are an impressive sight in the study or on the balcony!

If yours has the equatorial mount, wooden tripod and all contained within a nice wooden box, it could be worth some hundreds of dollars. Not likely to ever be worth a thousand.

Work out how to post pictures - it will help (hit the Go Advanced button below the reply window)
