For more than 10 years Sam Sidders created hundreds of Kaleidoscopes in a large variety of styles. Even though Sam is no longer producing a large quantity of kaleidoscopes, he still maintains a modest inventory of them at his studio. There are still a couple of shops and galleries that display his work as well.

You are invited to see Sam's Kaleidoscopes at these fine shops. Click on the nameplates for locations and information.

|
Each of Sam's scopes is unique due to the differences in materials, design, etc.,
Consequently each scope is priced individually.
The kaleidoscopes pictured here are examples of Sam's different Marble scope styles.

"Bottle on a Post"
Each of the Kaleidoscopes in this group is made from an actual bottle. Several brands of beer bottles and some soft-drink bottles are available. Sam refers to these as his "Bottle on a Post" style.
The "Fence Post" base has a hole in the top surface which allows the bottle to sit upright. It also provides a place for the extra marbles.
|
These scopes utilize a 3-mirror, front-surface, mirror system and a one inch marble, which is attached to the bottom of the bottle, to provide the viewing image. The marble can be changed to provide different images. Each scope comes with 3 marbles.
|
|
|
PLEASE NOTE: The wooden bases supplied with this type of kaleidoscope are universal and may vary slightly from those pictured with the scope.

PLEASE NOTE: All Kaleidoscopes are one of a kind, and are subject to prior sale.

These scopes differ from the traditional kaleidoscope in that they do not contain any type of object chamber to produce the viewing image. They utilize a clear lens or clear marble to pickup colors from whatever the scope is pointed at.
Sam's Teleidoscopes are available in two sizes. The larger scope is about 9 inches long and 1 inch in diameter. The smaller version is 6 inches long and ½ inch in diameter.
