Model 78-6035

Thank you for purchasing the Bushnell Harbormaster Telescope! Your new telescope has been designed and crafted with the highest standards so that you may have years of enjoyment out of this wonderful window to the world. This instrument comes complete with a vintage solid brass telescope crafted and polished to perfection, a solid wood tripod with antique cherry finish, and a precision ground 60mm lens.

We would like to take this time to illustrate some of the inherent traits of brass. Brass has a tendency to have minor imperfections that should not be considered as defective. Rather, these should be considered just for what they are-common occurrences within the brass that add to the character and antiquity of this product. It is our hope that you will enjoy and appreciate this fine example of Old World craftsmanship and its authentic design for years to come.
