Theatre binoculars - Opernglas signiert - 1885-1900...

The tubes, eyepieces and the adjustment wheel are made of bone or celluloid (or an early plastic imitation such as celluloid), set in gilded brass. The characteristic fine lines (Schreger lines) in the material point to genuine bone. Very nice cream color. Mechanism: It features a classic center-drive focusing via a central wheel, very smooth! Condition: On both eyepieces there is a minimal crack in the material, which is very common in these organic materials due to aging and drying, but it does not affect function at all. The gilded brass shows hardly any patina. Additionally, the bridges have been finished with black piano lacquer. The oculars are completely free of mold and dust and offer an excellent view/magnification—in light of the high age! Manufacturer: O. H. Meder Leipzig. Around 1890. Fully functional! Focusing via the center wheel is flawless and smooth. Height: 10 cm - Width 11 cm - Bottom diameter: 4.5 cm - approximate dimensions Dimensions refer to extended glass! Includes original leather case with antique patina-silk and brass closure. Good condition and closure in order!
