Stained
Glass Kaleidoscope
  
This beautiful kaleidoscope is one of the most impressive pieces
in my collection. The two stained-glass wheels are over seven
inches in diameter—this ’scope really dominates its
table! The view through the eyepiece is just as spectacular. The
solder ribs lend a wonderful geometry to the patterns.
I won this kaleidoscope at auction on eBay. It was a bit of a
“fixer-upper.” There was a heavy accumulation of dust
inside the unsealed tube and the wheels were warped. I enjoyed
cleaning and repairing it!
