Sans and Streiffe 60mm Classic Telescopes

This is a close look at a couple of very odd vintage classic telescopes. According to a Japanese scholar (aoirotukiko on Cloudy Nights), the innovative Sans and Streiffe Model 601 was engineered by one of the key designers from Goto Kogaku and other renowned telescope companies, Shusuke Kojima. He probably had a lot of influence on some early Swift and Takahashi telescopes as well. For more details on that discussion please see this thread on Cloudy Nights:
