Description

I have a telescope shaped necklace charm made from ivory, celluloid or bone (?). I'm guessing it's from the 1800"s. When unscrewed, there's a square prism like part that I'm assuming has the picture attached to the end. The image is of a bearded man with his last name underneath. I can only make out that it starts with "J". There are smaller pictures around the man of an older lady, lady, young lady, young man, 2 separate boys and a young child. There are pictures around the outer edges similar to family pictures and home. I don't know if the man is a President or someone famous.
