About the Item
A scarce American kaleidoscope made and signed by Charles Bush consisting of a tubular barrel covered with pebbled paper with a cylindrical eye piece and a brass mounted chamber on the end. The kaleidoscope is activated by turning the spokes. The chamber box contains colored glass pieces in various forms as well as liquid filled ampules. When exposed to light through its lens, it reveals various changing geometric patterns. Now mounted on a mahogany stand, possibly of a later date. C.G. Bush and Company was based in Providence Rhode Island.
