The pirate telescope is a costume accessory in the form of an old-fashioned ship's spyglass, with a brown-and-black tube and gold-colored rims.
The skull with crossed bones and a bandana immediately catches the eye, with one eye glowing red. Women, men, and children can use it to complete their pirate outfit at a children's party or a pirate party.
Gold rims, wood look and skull on the telescope
- The tube consists of three parts that become narrower towards the eyepiece.
- Both ends have a shiny gold-colored rim: wide and straight at the front, and trumpet-shaped at the eyepiece.
- A flame-like brown-and-black print runs along the entire tube, reminiscent of old, weathered wood.
- The wide part features a skull with a bandana and crossed bones, with one red eye.
- The telescope is intended for women, men, boys, and girls.
- You receive one telescope, without any additional costume pieces.
Why does a pirate look through one long tube instead of binoculars?
A pirate looks through one tube because old ship's spyglasses were single-eyepiece telescopes that you held up to one eye. Sailors would pull out such a spyglass to scan the coast or another ship and then push it back together so it was easy to carry. Binoculars came into use later and therefore do not fit the classic pirate image. So if you are playing a captain scanning the horizon, choose this single-eyepiece model.
Make your captain look recognizable with the telescope
A telescope in hand instantly turns a loose pirate outfit into that of a captain or a lookout in the crow's nest. Combine it with a tricorn hat, an eye patch, and a sash around your waist, and everyone will recognize the role without explanation. The skull on the tube matches nicely with a pirate flag or a hat with the same emblem. For children, the telescope is perfect for a treasure hunt, where they take turns scanning the garden or playground.
Bring home the pirate telescope and scan the horizon for booty at your next pirate party.
