Bidspirit auction | A Pair of Antique Brass

A Pair of Antique Brass and Black Lacquered Field Glasses - This pair of antique field glasses features a classic twin-barrel design with a central bridge construction. The instrument is made of brass, showing traces of an original black lacquer finish on the bridge, focusing mechanism, and eyepiece frames. A central knurled thumbwheel adjusts the focus via a screw-thread post. The flared eyepieces are constructed from a dark, composite material. The objective lenses are set into tapered brass barrels. A circular inscription is present on the top rim of each eyepiece; however, the characters are heavily worn and are not legible as a name or location.
