Comment

The opera glasses are in great condition considering age with the following minor blemishes - small amount of tarnish to brass and minor scratches. While, the original patina remains on the frame, this can be polished if desired. The carrying case has had some use, missing internal lining in lid. All in all, in great condition considering the age of this piece. Price has been adjusted to reflect these minor imperfections.
