Bought this in London 50 years ago and has been in dry storage since then.

Leather worn but not torn. An old piece that can be restored but looks fine as it is.

Louis Paschal Casella (1812–1897) was an Italian immigrant who opened a shop in London in 1848, offering a wide range of meteorological, mathematical, optical, and philosophical instruments, and photographic apparatus. Casella prospered, and soon obtained appointments to the Prince of Wales and several government agencies. With Charles Frederick Casella in charge, the firm became C.F. Casella in 1897, and C. F. Casella & Company Ltd. in 1910.
