Binoculars

Twin telescope binoculars with a leather-covered body, blackened brass draw tubes and sliding sun shades. There is a central focussing wheel, as well as a second wheel to change the separation of the two tubes. The name 'Bryson Edinburgh' is inscribed on one of the draw tubes, although this looks like it may be an owner rather than a manufacturer or retailer.
