  • Item Weight: 2lbs 5oz
  • Brand: Carl Zeiss Jena
  • Application: Astronomy
  • Condition: My Grandfather bought these new and he had them all his life until he passed in 1986. I inherited all of his cameras, lenses, and these binoculars. Just as he kept them, they have been kept in my non-smoking, air-conditioned home. For the last 35 years they have been hardly used and never subjected to any weather. I would guess these are an exceptional example from this era. Note the rear hinge in the top of the leather case is is worn through and does not hold, so it allows the top of the case to come off completely.

    Description

    My Grandfather bought these brand new.  I inherited them in 1986 and took care of them like he did in a non-smoking and air-conditioned home.  For the last 35 years I have only pulled them out to look at a few special things maybe 4-5 times!  They have NEVER been out in any weather.
    As a child my Grandfather taught me to respect the quality of all of his fine equipment.  He was a professional photographer since the early 1930's and he collected some very high-end equipment.
    They are gorgeous to operate and are beautiful to look through.  Absolute quality German made in 1931.
    I have no children to pass them on to so maybe you are the right buyer to pass them on to.
    Thank you for considering these.
