Old antique vintage brass and steel Binoculars or field glasses.
Field Glasses were used for outdoor viewing. These older binoculars were much plainer than opera glasses. The word field glasses was replaced with the name binoculars half way though the 19th old binoculars come in many different shapes and sizes. Most of these binoculars were considered fashion pieces in the 19th century and many include the well known eyepiece. Made from silver or gold depending on how much money the original owner had to spend on these optical antiques. Some even had gems on them. They were very small in size. These old binoculars were called opera glasses as they were used to magnify the view while in the balconies of the theatres.
