The term 'Lens' is commonly used by non-astronomical folk.
It is what they call the Eyepiece.
Back when this scope was made many EP's were made of brass.
Before this time all EP's were brass.
That's what he means. It has a Brass EP that has been stored away.
As an antique EP, or collectable EP (if it is in good nick) it will be worth $500 on its own with a FREE old telescope and mount thrown in
P.S. 18 minutes to go
