Cooke Telescope Tales - Sunspots seen with a Cooke telescope in 1896

 In 1867 the Rev  J H Jenkinson of St Mary’s vicarage  Reading, Berks purchased two astronomical eyepieces from Thomas Cooke and Sons York.  In 1896 he described a series of sunspot drawings he had made between February and August of that year. He used a 4.5 inch Thomas Cooke of York telescope.

 I wonder if those eyepieces purchased in 1867 were  the ones used in 1896?
