There's been a few other friends here showing their old opera glasses recently, so here's the pair I have. :-)
Made by RAMEAU in Paris, France, they are still in their original leather case, in original cardboard box, with a velvet(-ish) drawstring bag. The mother-of-pearl decoration is only on the outside of their larger lower portion, the adjustable barrel and associated metal hardware is polished brass. The name of their former owner lady is still barely visible in handwritten script on the inside lining of the lid of the case.
They're in really wonderful condition and the fact that you have the original box is simply outstanding!!
