Well, here's a real antique in mint condition - a Dollond 3.5" complete with its original mount, tripod, box and instructions http://www.trevorphilip.com/late-18t...ategoryid=1397

If you just want a display piece (ie not a functioning telescope) buy one of the cheap replica brass refractors mad in India. Complete rubbish optically but they look good and the focus works.

If you want a cheap brass one that actually works, Bintel have some for sale, or you could ask this chap for an OTA: http://www.irpoyser.co.uk/irpoysercatalogue1.php

But if I had the spare cash, one of these 6" f/15 babies...http://skylight.myshopify.com/collec...the-skylight-6
