Probably made in the 60s by Swift, similar ones were also made by Vixen technically its a modified Kellner or achromatic Ramsden. I think it was designed down to a price.....

But its got a shiny barrel and light grey domed end that holds the lenses.
The eye lens is about 6mm in diameter. Good condition no fungus or scratches on what little glass there is, Ill post a piccie over the w/e.

Ive also got an adapter for it to be used with even older style focuser that took threaded eyepieces that screwed into a separate push in drawtube. - collectors item honest
