I noticed that there are a large number of antique looking brass telescopes on E-bay. This looked pretty dodgy to me, due to the quantity and the fact that the tripods look identical to a cheap 60 mm refractor tripod.
I looked up "E-bay brass telescope" on Google and got this page:

Now I know that most people here wouldn't even think about buying these telescopes, so the reason I'm putting this link up is to help the page stay near the top of the Google rankings.
