1983 C.Bennett Kaleidoscope

Up for sale is a beautiful, highly collectible piece of optical art history—an authentic vintage "Crystal Vision" teleidoscope created by pioneering kaleidoscope artist Carolyn Bennett. This piece features its original, factory-engraved signature on the base reading: "Crystal Vision™ C Bennett Scopes 1983”. Unlike a standard kaleidoscope that relies on internal beads, a teleidoscope uses a high-quality glass crystal lens at the tip to turn the world around you into a shifting, geometric mirrored masterwork. Point it at any room, light source, or landscape to create endless custom patterns! You turn the teleidoscope around manually. Sleek dark metallic barrel. Clean internal mirror system with a clear crystal sphere lens. In good vintage condition with minor surface handling wear, light scuffs, and aging consistent with a 40+ year-old collectible item. Engraving is clean and fully legible. Clear and fully functional. Mirrors provide vibrant, crisp reflective symmetry when in use. Approximately 8.75” in length and 1.5” in diameter.
