While conducting research on miniature binoculars and their design, manufacturers, and distribution channels, our on line museum collection acquired many examples of vintage distributor/ manufacturer/ dealer catalogs to post excerpts relevant to miniature binoculars on the pages entitled “VINTAGE ADVERTISING”. These catalogs are really quite difficult to find and to obtain, so it seemed a shame not to share them and also expand these holdings into a unique FREE RESEARCH LIBRARY OF BINOCULARS CATALOGS: particularly since the whole premise of creating an on line museum is to maximize accessibility to information. As I know how difficult researching binoculars is. I am acquiring as many more catalogs as possible in as many languages as possible, and am scanning/ posting them, covering pre 1980s binoculars of all types, and including monoculars, telescopes, spotting scopes, and rifle scopes when they happen to be in the catalogs. If viewers have pre 1980 binoculars catalogs to donate, loan, sell, or scan to add, please contact me (Mark) at miature.binoculars@gmail.com |
