Hi. I appreciate that this is my first post on this forum but I am desperate for help and I know there are vintage binocular experts on here.
I have acquired this pair of very old 'late 1800s' I think, and would like some information. There does not seem to be much online that goes back so far. Any help would be greatly appreciated. There is a magnification mark on one eyepiece which reads 0X I presume this to be 10X and the 1 has worn off.
Oh and value if possible. There is a case which once was beautiful but is now a bit poorly.
Thanks.
