Cooke Telescope Tales - small telescope in 1868

 I have come across another astronomer who purchased a small Thomas Cooke & Sons telescope. 

In this case it is J. Hullett of Clarence Lodge, Purbrook, Cosham, Hampshire who in 1868 purchased  a 2.75 inch refractor, which I would assume would have been mounted on a small tripod.
