Product description

Lot: a pair of porro-prism binoculars presented with a brown stitched carrying case and leather-look neck strap. The binoculars show heavy cosmetic wear to the painted metal body and textured coverings, with several paint chips and scuffs visible on the barrels and objective rims. The case interior shows purple lining; the exterior has edge wear and surface marks. Maker, model and magnification markings are not legible in the supplied photos.

These compact binoculars suit a collector of vintage optics, a prop or display buyer, or someone who wants a restoration project. They are useful for decorative use, theatrical/film props, or for an enthusiast prepared to service optics and focus mechanisms. Because optical performance has not been verified, this lot is best for buyers who accept untested equipment.
