Traditional: The traditional brass kaleidoscope is typically about 8- or 9-in. long. While it is made entirely of brass, it may come with a wood stand. Generally, this type is priced around $50.

Decorative: While all brass kaleidoscopes are attractive, there are some that are definitely meant to be displayed. These often feature unique stands or added features like interchangeable color wheels. Expect to pay between $75 and $125 for more elaborate brass kaleidoscopes.
