Very Rare 9 Draw Telescope 18th/early 19th Century from Heather of London
A maritime 9 draw telescope, this length and draw number is very very rare and sought after. See the pictures for details. It’s marked Heather, London.. Interestingly this period covers the Napoleonic Wars, in which Englands Navy was heavily involved. Also, from 1795 onwards, William Heather was the premier specialist chart publisher in London. I’m happy to be corrected on any information on this telescope, it has its lens cap and the sliding eyepiece lens cover works perfectly. Length closed is a little under seven inches, open just under forty one inches. This would make a brilliant addition to a collection as the number of draws is so very uncommon..

Coffee roaster, rare early type, 18th century
Coffee Roaster – a rare antique hand-held wrought iron coffee bean roaster, believed to be Italian or of an Italian design (I recall seeing one of these in Italy) and dating from the 18th century or early 19th century. The ball-end is placed in the embers of the hearth, and turned frequently for an even roast. The piece measures 64cm long and the ball is about 12cm diameter. I’ve successfully roasted fresh coffee beans, then ground them in a manual grinder – all very satisfying. With some practice it delivers a smoky rich coffee – for a unique Capuccino before 10.30 only please… Neoplolitan standards must be maintained, or a cheeky machiato or espresso to accompany your afternoon fritelli venexiana standing at the banco, of course, an emotion best recollected in tranquility. It’s also a great mystery object talking-piece. The exterior has been given an ocassional light rub with bees wax to inhibit corrosion – a treatment I’m considering myself.
