Antique Scopes

Robert Garfinkle U.S.A. told me it was very ambitious to try and catalogue all known John Browning telescopes, I agree with that. Dr. Ron Maddison, past president of the Antique Telescope Society encouraged me to try anyway, so I am. This page lists the John Browning telescopes I have recorded so far, I hope you enjoy my catalogue.
