Zoom binoculars - Solveig - 1950-1960 - Germany - Hertel & Reuss

Presented is an opera glass, the Hertel und Reuss model Solveig. The opera glass probably dates from 1950-1960.
With the Hertel & Reuss “Solveig” (often also spelled Solweig), this is a classic, elegant opera glass or theatre glass. It was manufactured by the traditional German optics manufactory Hertel & Reuss from Kassel. The key facts at a glance:
Product type: Compact opera glass (theatre binoculars).
Manufacturer: Hertel & Reuss (founded 1927 in Kassel, known for high-quality microscopes, binoculars and rifle scopes).
Typical magnification: Usually 3.5x magnification (marked with 3 ½ x).
Design & variants: The Solveig model is available in various elegant vintage editions. Very popular are variants with mother-of-pearl inlays, noble gold or brass accents, and editions in leather or colored piano lacquer (e.g. green or black).
Accessories: Originally usually sold with a color-matched genuine leather case or an elegant pouch.
Current value and collector status: Since Hertel & Reuss went bankrupt in the mid-1990s, these optical devices are no longer produced in their original form and today are sought-after collectibles or popular vintage gifts!

Excellent and clear view / magnification!
