I'm looking for an ancient-looking brass-type telescope on a stand, preferably ornate. Think Galileo or Copernicus or an alchemist.

Anybody got any ideas?

Thanks,
Jon Bankert

Not sure if this is what JonBankert wanted, but there is a picture of Galileo's telescope and a drawing of it on a stand here: http://es.rice.edu/ES/humsoc/Galileo/Things/telescope.html#telescope Looks interesting.:)

Yes, Nightwind, that's exactly it! Anyone seen one anywhere?

There weren't telescopes in the Middle Ages. Lippershey invented the first known telescope around 1600AD. See this link.

Newton invented a reflecting telescope just a few decades later..;)
