Bumble Bee Randy & Shelley Knapp

Bumble Bee was one of three short painted scopes (the others were Ice Cube – that was painted blue, and Pinkie – that was painted pink).  The PVC body was painted yellow and the anodized aluminum ends were black.  The cell contained flame worked glass and included a yellow and black “bumblebee” marble made by Shelley.

The scope is not hand signed but has “Shelley Knapp Kaleidoscopes” etched on the side of the eyepiece end of the kaleidoscope.
