Antique, very early Trieder binoculars by CP Goerz of Berlin. No case, some scuffing, leather neck strap has snapped and been repaired.
Lovely smooth focusing action and width adjustment (to suit the distance between the users eyes).
Serial number (production number) 13587, from which the date of production can be traced to 1898.
The 1903 Goerz catalogue published in the USA specifies this model of binocular as:
Linear magnification 9x
Superficial magnification 81x
Actual field of view 4.4 degrees
Subjective field of view 40 degrees
Code-word Trigon
and quotes a retail price of $54 (in 1903).
Please note, production of the Trieder binoculars only started in 1897, and to find a pair from before 1900 is EXTREMELY UNUSUAL, these are a real hard-core collectors item.
These will only be posted using special delivery, or can be collected in person.
Overseas postage may be possible, but will be very expensive (eg: 45) and you will be responsible for paying any customs charges imposed by your country of residence.
