'Volcano top' eyepieces by Tani and Masumaya

For sale are the following 4 vintage optics:

9mm Orthoscopic - marked Circle 'T' Japan - (Tani)
25mm Kelner - marked Circle 'T' Japan -(Tani) - and Celestron
40mm Kelner - marked Oval 'M' Japan - (Masuyama)
2x Barlow - no maker's mark but made in Japan

These were bought as a set, together with an orange tube C8 in 1979. They are in excellent condition and all in their original boxes. Stainless barrels.

The 40mm Kelner eyepiece is by Masuyama, one of the top eyepiece producers in Japan in the 1970's and quite rare.

The 9mm and 25mm Tani eyepieces are more common and also excellent eyepieces.

The Barlow, like the eyepieces, is Japanese 1970's.

I would prefer to sell these as a set, to keep them together. However if you have an interest in one or more of them, let me know. Unfortunately the shipping cost is the same whether one eyepiece or all of them!

$300 for the set, pick-up Mandurah - plus $12 if shipping interstate
