<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 395770, member: 5833&quot;]Hello Shannon.&nbsp; Janice Chesnik &amp; her daughter <a href="http://artoftoys.com/sheryl-koch/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://artoftoys.com/sheryl-koch/" rel="nofollow">Sheryl Koch</a> began making 2-wheel stained glass kaleidoscopes like this, starting in the 1980s, but many other artisans also adopted this type of construction.&nbsp; I think this is by one of the other makers.</p><p><br /></p><p>The wheels for this one look beyond repair. It would probably be possible to have new wheels made, using the glass elements from these.&nbsp; An important issue is the condition of the mirrors.&nbsp; If they have become clouded, speckled or knocked out of alignment, you could buy another scope from that period in excellent pre-owned condition for what it would cost you to have this one put back in working order.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m afraid the seller misinformed you, I hope out of ignorance &amp; not intentional fraud.&nbsp; It is 1980s at the earliest &amp; in poor condition.&nbsp; The Brewster Society might be able to refer you to someone who could make repairs.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
