Edwin Molenaar

An original Opera glass from around 1900 by the optician Ruhnke from Berlin. In a fine leather case, with fabric lined out, for the proud tread into the Opera or the theatre.
The description to the optician Ruhnke, you will find near the images.
The Opera glass is made of brass and studded with mother of Pearl. 
It is technically fine and focused very sharply. The glasses are free of scratches and inclusions. The brass has some signs of aging, no wonder after about 100 years and two world wars.
A great gift for the collector or simply to the place and look at.
