[QUOTE="wlwhittier, post: 9541937, member: 76316"]Marked "Julius King Optical Co. Pat Nov 28, 1882 & Mar 12, 1889" 5 3/4" fully collapsed, ~9 1/2" extended; the extension tube is ~5/16" diameter, the MOP is two 8-panel sleeves, each 2" long by ~1/2" in diameter. The dovetail mount material appears to be tortoise shell; the gold work is very finely done, the only exception being the solder lines showing in the last pic. I'm gonna dig into Julius King Optical as soon as I post this...but please do share your thoughts an' observations, an' thanks for lookin'!
