Cooke Telescope Tales - telescope for sale in Ormskirk in 1968

A Cooke Troughton 5 inch telescope was being offered for sale in Ormskirk by W A Howe in 1968. There was also a 14 foot diameter dome observatory for sale. The fact that this was advertised as a Cooke Troughton telescopes suggest it was post a relatively modern instrument being a post 1922 instrument. www.theramblingastronomer.co.uk
