Vintage folding opera glasses / binoculars. Super compact rare set of lenses
Superb design of glasses that fold down very small
closed size in CM 6 x 3 x 2
extended measurements are
front lenses 12cm across
rear lenses 8cm across
length 10cm
with the back viewers folding up and slipping inside the middle block, the front lenses fold
back and held there by a clip on the rear lenses.
They function properly but they do have a fair bit of wear to them, though it is all superficial were the chrome has worn off and there are some small marks on the lenses. They must have been used a fair bit.
They also come with their original case, though as you can see in the last picture that it has pretty much disintegrated
A super adition to any collection
I have not seen another pair like this, nor can I find anything similar
