They look more like the Lemaire civil war binoculars I have seen on google. Very cool to have something this old!

Thanks everyone for the help with this mystery. For now the origin is unknown but they look great on the mantle.  I am going to post another treasure from dear old Dad/Grandma!

I know..curious and slightly frustrated.  My Grandmother most likely got it between 1940-1980...

Hi. I measured and they are both 1ft x 1 ft. I did find a signature, so excited because I missed it before. It reads on both J F TRUBAC. I have also attached more pictures.  Thanks for the help!

Thank you for the reply.  I will take dimensions tonight when I get home from work.  I am really bad with this, but the blue coloring (the other one is red, like a cardinal) looks like it could be painted.  I will also weigh it, because they are very heavy.  I just remember my Dad telling me they were very expensive, I thought he said they were from Tiffany's....but I am not sure he knew what he was talking about.  Will get more information and post again.  Thanks.

Hi...I am new here. My father passed away a few years ago and I now have these bird figures from him, they used to be my Grandmother's. There are two of them, both gold birds. Very very heavy. No markings indicating the manufacturer.  Any ideas?
