Antique Binoculars – A Pair of Vintage Optical Instruments
This lot comprises two pairs of vintage binoculars. One pair is a Carl Zeiss 12x50B Dodecarem, a classic German optical instrument known for its quality and clarity. The second pair are Japanese 7×50 field glasses, likely of military or nautical origin. Both pairs are presented with their original carrying cases, offering a glimpse into the history of optical technology and its applications.
Condition and Collectibility
These binoculars appear as presented in the images, with signs consistent with age and use. The optical elements may exhibit some clouding or imperfections, and the cases show wear and tear. Despite this, they remain desirable items for collectors of vintage optics, military memorabilia, or anyone interested in the craftsmanship of a bygone era. They would make an interesting display piece or a unique addition to a collection.
