While browsing the advertisements for the Jacksonville, Florida Craigslist, I happened to notice a listing for a highly collectible, vintage Manon (Shrine) 60mm alt-azimuth refractor telescope. The scope is pictured in its wooden storage chest, but the similarity to Mayflower, ATCO, and other brands is obvious.

The ad was posted on November 12th, 2008, and the web address is:

(I am not the seller of the telescope.)

Comments from members about the performance of these vintage Manon telescopes?
