stickmaker | Old Binicular

While helping my mother clean out a closet I found a leather carrying case which I at first thought held a folding camera. Instead, inside was a small binocular, with the markings: France St Moritz binocular coated 8 X 26 field 103/1000 light weight

Looking online for info.

The focusing knob is frozen; may need gentle persuasion and maybe a drop of lubrication.

They are very similar to this: http://vi.raptor.ebaydesc.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemDescV4&item=173266366215&category=83880&pm=1&ds=0&t=1603668808000&ver=0 but apparently older.

Up[date: All controls operating, now. These are not great binoculars, but in certain circumstances they'd be vastly better than no binoculars at all. :-)
