AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Small and compact vintage Opera binoculars from the company Eschenbach.
The “Manon” by Eschenbach-Optik is a classic, vintage opera glass (theater glass) that was mainly distributed in the 1950s to 1970s.
Eschenbach offered optical devices for entry-level use or as compact leisure companions. The Eschenbach Optik “Manon” opera glass consists of a classic material combination from the post-war era:
Gilded brass
Bakelite
Mother of pearl
Silicate glass
Metal: The main body and the bridge are made of sturdy brass, gilded.
Details: The gold-colored rings and decorative elements are gilded brass, and the gripping surfaces are made of mother of pearl. The housing is wrapped in mother of pearl — the ocular housings are Bakelite.
Special feature here:
The pupil distance can be individually adjusted.
This model does not have any additional focusing via a center wheel!
Good visibility. Includes original case with light signs of wear—see photos!
Extra: Eye distance adjustment possible.
Smooth focusing via the center wheel
A small flaw: The decorative shade at the bottom has a crack—see photo
