Title: binoculars occupied japan
Post by: Simon13 on December 13, 2012, 12:47:39 PM
These I think are so cool I am going to sell them, but all the same I love them Occupied Japan. I have a bunch of pieces from Occupied Japan but these I love. Sales have been slow because of the "Cliff" so I pulled them to ebay them. I really have no idea how to price them because I don't want to get rid of them. I am just kind of showing them off because soon I think they will have a new home.

It is not written the mag I will have to gab some other ones and compare, they also list no maker for the glass, but it is good glass I use to work in the film industry and would do lens tests it is good glass just not sure how made it. They are for the oprea i do believe.

I feel the same. I have seen some others not exact match but yes- people also use them to watch sumo from the cheap seats in a full sumo match.

Ya been looking sense I popped them up across the board they run about 30-50. The interesting thing is in 2010 you could get them for almost nothing say them for 3-10$ now 30-50 thats a big jump in two years,
