Description from the seller

Eschenbach opera glasses Glamour binoculars Vintage red-gold 3x25
Immerse yourself in the world of opera with the glamorous Eschenbach opera glasses, which impress not only visually with an elegant red-gold design but also functionally with a maximum magnification of 3x. The compact size makes them ideal for the theatre experience, while the objective diameter of 25-29 mm provides a clear view. With these vintage binoculars from Eschenbach, specially developed for opera performances, theater, or concerts, you’ll lose yourself in the fascinating world of opera and enjoy every scene in razor-sharp quality.

Genuine historical vintage predecessors (approx. 1950s to 1980s): If you own an optically almost identical red-gold model that appears clearly older, it is usually one of the historical predecessor series from Eschenbach of the last century. Popular lines in the exact same “Parisian style” (red with gold or brass appliqués) were called at the time “Manon” or “La Scala.” These were mass-produced in post-war Germany up into the 1980s in West Germany (“Made in W. Germany”).

Here is a model in excellent condition!
Gilt brass! Bakelite or plastic – red and black. Optical glass. No scratches or fungal marks – excellent magnification and visibility!

Additionally, eye-relief adjustment!

Including original display case – art case or genuine leather...
In crocodile-skin lacquer design!
Also top condition.

Original operating instructions!

An absolute highlight for collectors!
A rarity in this like-new condition!

The specified dimensions refer to the extended theater glass! Approximate measurements!
Focusing extremely smooth and butter-soft!
