Negretti & Zambra ‘The Folding Minim’ binoculars with leather case Between 1897 and 1919 John Henry Barton was themost prolific of british patentees relating to binoculars. One of his designs was the highly unique Folding Minim marketed exclusively by Negrettiand Zambra. Produced from around 1912 this was one of the most unusual binoculars of the early 20th centurywith its specification of 5.5 x 16 and the ability to be folded completelyflat. Only its very high purchase price stopped this binocular frombecoming very popular. World War 1found Britain very short of quality binoculars and in June 1915 the War Officepurchased 250 folding Minims from Negretti and Zambra for distribution to theArmy, then posted to the Western Front. Adverts at the time quoted the binocular as being perfect in construction and being about the size of a cigar case was a revelation in portability.Considering their complex design and construction, this particular pair are in decent condition although there is an old repair. One of the ocular tubes has been soldered where it fits onto its prism housing. The paint is rubbed in the places typically expected with this model. The leather has also been replaced. The lenses and prisms are clean. Due to the re-soldering, the folding mechanism clicks into place a tiny bit too far which affects the collimation slightly. It needs the very slightest of pressure to back it off from the ‘click’ to obtain collimation. The folding mechanism clicks into place correctly and the focussing is smooth. These are otherwise a generally decent set of binoculars. These are inscribed on the front cover plates with Negretti & Zambra, London, The Folding Minim, Magn 5.5, Barton’s Patent. The objective lens focus tube has the numbers Rd No 570941 and 4066. This model could be supplied with a variety of different types of case. This pair comes with the slim leather pouch inscribed under the flat with Negretti & Zambra, London, Opticians. There is also a previous owners name, Watanabe, written in ink. As the binoculars are rather tight in this case, it may not have been supplied with these particular binoculars but for the type with smaller eye cups. However it is a genuine Minim case in good condition with no tears. Would international bidders please enquire for an estimate of postage costs
Please note thatebay charges a final value fee on postage as well as the item. On top of packing materials, packing &posting, travel costs, and paypal fees a portion of these additional charges has been added to the true postage costs. I amsorry for this but ebay and paypal fees are now making it very difficult forsellers.Please note for absoluteclarity, that in addition to the honest description made in good faith, the photographs form an integral part of the description and it isincumbent upon the buyer to seek further information if there is anyuncertainty about age, condition or functionality. All parcels will be sent with full insuranceand requiring a signature upon delivery. The full purchase value will be quoted on customs documentation and allimport duties will be the sole responsibility of the buyer.
