Wonderful pair of mid-to-late 19thC opera glasses by the Berlin firm Gebruder Strauss. Barrels are a bronze/copper colored metal with a black frame.
Our research on the manufacturer didn't provide definitive dating for the items but we learned that the company was founded in 1840 in Berlin and believe these were probably made between that time and the turn of the century.
Dimensions: extended, 4.2"W x 3.6H"; retracted, 4.2"W x 2.8"H.
Very good condition for an item at 120-180 years old; optics work as designed, minimal wear, focus wheel is a little tight to turn to extend the eye pieces and has.small split, as shown. Slight rattle when glasses are turned upside down.
Free local pickup; otherwise shipped via economical UPS ground.
