This set of BINOCULARS was from the State of New Hampshire forest fire service. It was made in Rochester New York after WWI and Prior to WWII. It was the actual set of BINOCULARS used on the fire lookout tower on Pitcher Mountains in Stoddard New Hampshire.

With the use of Satellites now the need99⁸ for fire lookouts is "Old Technology " these were in the tower as spares until they installed more modern systems with permanent telescopes into a map system engineered for each system.

I was a state fire marshall and will include the truck badge with the BINOCULARS.

These were actually used on the fire tower on Pitcher Mountain. This is the only fire tower still in operating condition and is on the registry of historical locations. It is now a tourist location and not a part of the Southwest New Hampshire fire system.

A picture is worth over a thousand words. A close look will reveale that BOTH eye locations are adjustable. It is the original case, there was a loose part of the strap but I has it repaired by a professional leather worker. It's real leather not plastic, and the BINOCULARS are made from steel and glass not plastic.

I will meet you at McDonald's in Manassas City Virginia. I post on a church computer so you will have to call or text me. American cash only

I report all scammers to Virginia State Police.
