Looks like something from the 1940's or 50's. Its either an amateur long term project or a commercial instrument. The lack of a commercial focusser and the pier made to a specific lattitude suggest its an ATM project. The focuser looks like it has been nabbed from a very old brass refractor. Someones dream project that outlived them
It is certainly only of scrap metal value.
