Ziess Field Glasses?
« on: August 16, 2007, 07:15:56 pm »
Hey guys, I recently came across some pretty old looking Ziess Binoculars. Above the left lens it says "Ziess Stereo Field Glass. Power-8" Above the right lens it says "Bausch & Lantb Optical Co." I don't see any serial numbers on them anywhere. Here are some pictures of them:






Any Idea what they're worth, and maybe some history behind them?


Thanks! ;D :

 1892 - Newly patented series of lenses, anastigmatic photographic, designed by Doctors Abbe and Rudolph, were made by Bausch & Lomb for U.S. distribution under Zeiss license.
