Antique Questions Forum / Can someone identify this antique brass and glass item?

« on: July 17, 2010, 08:50:17 pm »

Today I picked up this item at a local estate sale. It came in many more pieces than when the pictures were taken and seems to still be missing a few. There are no markings anywhere on the pieces except measurement marks on the adjusting nobs (centimeters). As you can see the long pieces of glass are in octagon shape.

Can someone please give me a hint as to what this is?

Thanks
