"Bottle on a Post"
Each of the Kaleidoscopes in this group is made from an actual bottle.
Several brands of beer bottles and some soft-drink bottles are available.
Sam refers to these as his
"Bottle on a Post" style.
The "Fence Post" base has a hole in the top surface which allows the bottle to sit upright. It also provides a place for the extra marbles.
|
These scopes utilize a 3-mirror, front-surface, mirror system and a one inch marble, which is attached to the bottom of the bottle, to provide the viewing image. The marble can be changed to provide different images. Each scope comes with 3 marbles.
Average price $ 50.~
|
|
PLEASE NOTE: The wooden bases supplied with this type of kaleidoscope are universal and may vary slightly from those pictured with the scope.
