Bausch & Lomb Zephyr Binocular

From our very own, ever evolving, personal Collection comes what many who love these awesome atavistic optics to be The Finest binocular made in North America! Cleaned of any and all internal film and spots, the focus controls were also lubed using NYE synthetic damping grease for a lifetime of very smooth use. Views are super sharp and very clear. Quite unlike almost every other used optic - especially 74 year-old ones - being sold here and on other sites.
Yes, made in 1949, the year that saw Mao Tse Tung declare the People's Republic of China, Harry Truman seated as the worst president of the 20th Century, the USSR test the first of thousands of atomic weapons thanks to the treasonous perfidy of the Rosenbergs, Perry Cuomo at the top of the charts, and the Yankees beating the Dodgers for the world Series title.
Hard to imagine but this bino then sold for the equivalent of $1350.00!!! Definitely an alpha optic and one which easily trumps today's Commie Chinese binos. Awesome case.
