This is a Absolutely Beautiful and Very Fine Quality Pair of Antique Opera Glasses - Binoculars. From Berlin Germany. Circa Very Late 19th Century. Note! that They are Quite Rare Being Made Out of Aluminum. It is a Interesting Fact that Aluminum was Very Expensive to Produce Due to the Complicated Refining Process at The Time that These were Made. During the Mid to late 19th Century Items that were Made out of Aluminum Were Very Expensive and Quite the Novelty Because of its Light Weight and Unusual Color Compared to Other Metals that had Been Produced Over the Years. They are Signed on the Mother of Pearl Eyepieces by the Well Documented Maker JOSEF RODENSTOCK - BERLIN - H.S.M. - HOFLIEFERANT. This Company was Esteemed World Wide for its High Quality Optics - Lenses. The Bodies are Beautifully Laminated in a Very Unusual Light Purple - Rainbow Color Genuine Mother of Pearl - Shell. They have a Adjustable Length Telescoping Viewing Handle with Finely Embossed Decorated Adornments. They are in Very Nice Cosmetic and Functional Condition. I have Also Cleaned the Internal Glass Lenses so they are Ready to be Used and Enjoyed. They Also Come with Their Original Hand Made Green Velvet and Embroidery Carry Bag that is in Fair Condition but Does Have Some Signs of Age and Use Wear Etc. Minor Imperfection Noted - 1 of the Front Lens Bezels has a Small Rim Indentation at the Handle Mount Screw Area. This Does Not Effect Their Usability in Any Way and Can Best Be Seen in The Last - 12th Photograph.
