Seeking “JUNK” Minature Binoculars for Reuse of the Parts in Repairs to the Collection

Swaps Possible

We are interested in purchasing “Junk” examples of these miniature binoculars: dirty, chipped prisms, cracked lens, fungus inside, not working. We would be buying them for parts to repair others in the collection, so they must have both eye cups (not chipped or stripped) and both diopter rings and prisms.

Must not be missing !

We are willing to pay US $18 each (postage inclusive) for “junk” miniature binoculars that still have their eyecups and diopter rings, to use for parts. If you have some to get rid of email us at miniature.binoculars@gmail.com

Like most collectors we seem to wind up with some duplicate miniature binoculars and full size binoculars not really needed for the collection. If you have a pair of miniature binoculars with a brand name that we do not have, working or needing work, that you think we might be interested in and prefer to swap them to us for a fully functional pair we might have as surplus, email us with a photo and description to miniature.binoculars@gmail.com

Seeking Miniature Binoculars We Don’t Have

We do purchase brands of binoculars of this type that we do not already have (per Binoculars by brand), especially from markets that had some unique brands used (such as Scandinavia). We pay market value, that is to say what binoculars of this type generally sell for on the on-line auctions.   If you have a pair of miniature binoculars with a brand name or in a power that we do not have that you think we might be interested in email us with a photo and description and price to miniature.binoculars@gmail.com

What is the Value of Specific Miniature Binoculars? Was ist der Wert der Spezifischen Minifernglas? Quelle est la Valeur de Miniature Spécifique Jumelles? ミニチュア双眼鏡の特定のペア の値は何ですか? Какова величина удельного Миниатюрные Бинокль? Vad är Värdet av Specifik Miniature Kikare?¿Cuál es el Valor de Específico Prismáticos Miniatura? Qual è il Valore Dei Binocoli Specifici in Miniatura?

Do not pay any attention to “asking prices” with no bids. Most items realize price in the last seconds, and Ebay is quite full of items at inflated unrealistic prices that may be relisted endlessly for years and never actually sell. Ebay does get enough activity on items for which there is demand and that have been started at a realistic price to realize market price. We have paid around $19-$25 plus postage for 90% of these type binoculars that we’ve bought in the past few years that were claimed to be in functional condition. (but have also paid as little as $1.25). Binoculars of this type missing eyepieces or that are corroded and worn, or acknowledged as needing functional repairs (as opposed to the large number needing repairs but claimed to be fully functional) will normally sell for less than good ones. Binoculars of this type with original packing boxes will generally sell for a little more than ones without them. I cannot prove it, but suspect most are purchased for utilitarian purposes. Most brands sell for around the same price, and except for a few of the more highly regarded brands, the brand name doesn’t seem to affect the price all that much. As one of the brands well regarded and with solid demand, older Nikon and Nippon Kogaku brand binoculars of this type that are complete and in good condition will sometimes sell for twice to three times the price of most other brands (the models are still in production and new ones are costly). In general all-black miniature binoculars that are in very nice cosmetic condition also seem to sell for a bit more than their silver and black counterparts. As with cameras, the black paint is much more fragile and subject to showing wear than chrome or nickel plating.

It was my intent to try to acknowledge information sources, photos used with the permission of the photographer, assistance given, and to redirect people to other information sources. Also it was my intent to encourage other enthusiasts to contribute to the public information of this website as a group effort. In addition to specific acknowledgements that may appear in the body of the website for specific things, I would like to thank my friend Nico Westphal for his very substantial effort in providing research information on a substantial number binoculars for my list, as well as for information on his Fata Morgana binoculars, and for being a source of binoculars as he downsized his collections. I also want to thank Hans Braakhuis for sharing the photos he took in Japan of the unique prototype Mikron binoculars; and Ulrich Zeun for sharing serial numbers on his Fata Morgana binoculars, and thank noted binocular historian Dr. Hans Seeger for corrections and a wealth of information on Fata Morgana serial numbers and for inspiring my inexpert efforts at crafting a multilingual presentation. I would like to thank Jack Kelly and Ted Brink for photos and information about their Fata Morgana binoculars, and Roland Obst for information and photos and Werner J Becker for assistance. I want to give special thanks to Kate Ohno and to Günter Kampf for investing time and effort in the task of helping to improve the readability of my multi lingual effort, which is a progressive and ongoing challenge. I want to that John Ohno for writing custom code and posting revisions. I also want to thank friends and acquaintances for being good sports about having binoculars stuck in their hands and cameras in their faces. And I would like to acknowledge all the people who have provided JB codes on binoculars they were selling, mostly without realizing they were supporting this research effort.

From time to time viewers of this website will share photos of particularly uncommon or interesting miniature reverse poro prism binoculars, and of particular interest are ones that were not widely geographically distributed. This is a gallery section to enjoy a few of these shared photos.

These binoculars carry a label for Optica Helsinborg AB, Kullagatan 12, Helsinborg Sweden, one of the oldest optical shops in Sweden and in operation since 1932. I suspect that while many of these small Japanese reverse poro prism binoculars sold in the US market were sold through mail order, or catalog sales, or big box chain retailers, as well as camera shops, most of those sold in the European market were probably sold by specialty camera and optical shops.

“Cutaways” are products that have been cross sectioned or have had windows created by custom machining to display the internal technical parts, and to demonstrate visually how they function. Always rare, and always produced in limited numbers, these   are sometimes professionally produced as a saleman’s sample, or for trade displays. Machining an object so that it stays together but allows an internal view is partly machinist skill and partly art form. I have a fondness for these, and own cutaway padlocks, cutaway lock cylinders, cutaway locks, cutaway firearms, a cutaway door closer, cutaway munitions/ fuses/ hand grenades, and a pair of [full size] cutaway binoculars. I have never heard of cutaway miniature binoculars, so I spent some time with a Proxxon® rotary tool with abrasive wheels and created one for myself and another one for a friend.

Miniature Binoculars and the JFK Assassination. Miniaturfernglässer und die JFL Ermordung. Jumelles Miniatures et le JFK Assassinat. ミニチュア双眼鏡やケネディ暗殺。 Миниатюрные бинокли и убийства Кеннеди. Miniatyr kikare och Kennedy Assas. Los Prismáticos en Miniatura y el JFK Asesinato. Binocoli Miniaturizzati e L’assassinio JFK.

After the JKK assassination, three pairs of miniature binoculars were seized at the Ruth Paine house in Irving Texas, where Lee Harvey Oswald had stayed, and are shown in police photos. A 11/22/63 police inventory identified “binoculars Mikron 6x coated and brown leather case”. [These would have been the ubiquitous Nippon Kogaku 6x15 Mikron binoculars] Though I spent some time looking, I could not find any mention of the second pair shown in the evidence photo. And there is a third pair in the case because the carry cord is visible. The presence of these miniature binoculars and a case and light meter for a Minox subminiature camera were cited as being proof of “clandestine spy equipment and spy activity.” There has been a lot of argument about whether there was a camera, and what the film might show if there was a camera, or where the camera might have gone to if it existed. Nobody seems to care about the binoculars. And it isn’t clear who any of this belonged to or if it had any connection to Oswald. I wonder if all these unaccounted for binoculars are evidence of “conspiracy”. Just kidding... it makes me think they went home in somebody’s pocket as a “souvenir”. Americans love souvenirs. After all, Kennedy’s brain was not buried, and then it was stolen from the National Archives, either as a souvenir, or probably to cover up JFK’s now well documented addictions to opioid drugs.

The vast majority of the brand names that were used on miniature binoculars also appeared on various larger binoculars.

Miniature Atlas binoculars and non miniature Atlas brand “Revolver” type binoculars in the collection. This brand was named for the Greek god Atlas, the Titan who supported the heavens on his shoulders. Those rather quirky post war selectable eyepiece 8x and 12x combined Atlas binoculars were modeled after the 1896 Zeiss Marine Glas Mit Revolver, made famous by being used by Admiral Togo on the battleship Mikasa during the 1905 Battle of Tsushima (right). Though Zeiss only made that model from 1896 to 1906, the fact that it is so well known which particular binoculars were used in a particular battle 109 years ago underscores the intertwined relationships between binoculars and militarism.

  Here are some mechanical and technical details about the website for anyone interested in how such things work. The website is written and converted to html in Microsoft Publisher®2003. That program was never meant to do what I am doing with it, but so far I have made it work. Photos were initially improved with Adobe Photoshop CS2®, and then later on with PIXLR®, which does some things better. The website is hosted at nearlyfreespeach.net, which charges by the data as people look at the site. As well as handfuls of memory sticks, I have upgraded through six or seven used laptops utilized to edit the website, and these have struggled to cope as the website grew over a gig. The latest is a Lenovo W550s with i7 2.4 ghz processor, 32 gig ram, and a 320 gb hard drive. Photos of people looking through binoculars were taken with several point and shoot Cannon Power Shot cameras which could be carried around as fairly expendable, or alternately an iPhone 5 or 6. And a few were taken by other people with whatever they had. Binocular photos were initially taken with a Nikon D200® camera with a cheap 18-55 Nikkor lens plus an aftermarket macro lens, which took decent close ups of small markings but distorted the overall binocular photos, and also required getting so close to the marks that it created lighting issues. I next added a second Nikon D200 with a better quality Nikkor 12-24mm lens that had a macro feature. (I need wide angle for another purpose). It was an improvement, and I reshot a lot of binoculars. But it still distorted the binoculars a bit, and wasn’t particularly good for the small markings. Then in 2016 I purchased a more dedicated Nikon macro lens, the Micro Nikkor AF 105mmF2.8 D. It takes nice macro photos, but it’s depth of field on binoculars is wanting. And makes it difficult to hold binoculars in hand. Oh well. The photos are intended to be “utility” photos. These are “weasel words”,   to excuse quality issues, distortion, and for when I want to take expedient photos when it is early morning, dusk, raining, and otherwise fairly unsuitable for natural light macro photography or when I have no patience to work at getting better photos. It might be advantageous if I dusted and cleaned binoculars before photographing them rather than after, but I normally do repairs in front of TV when I have binoculars to repair and TV offerings are not good enough for undivided attention, and that is when I clean them, if I bother. I should scrub my hands before shooting pictures, but if I have been working on my old Land Rovers, then all that old grease and grunge is hard to get off. When the website is viewed on Firefox® or certain other search engines, the original typeface (Arial Black) may be transformed into a different typeface, because Microsoft® enforces their typeface copyrights, and this may degrade the layout and spacing and appearance. (So if it doesn’t look good...just blame Microsoft®). This website is very content heavy. Scroll down navigation was used to keep topics grouped together. If I had not utilized a scroll down approach, then the website might be around   800 or 900 ordinary screen size pages. Without scrolling down the navigation would be annoying. And the website is growing all the time. This does cause some technical issues. Posting can take hours. So if the website displays or acts oddly (distorted images or headers or navigation issues or freezes up), it might be because it is in the process of being revised. Also, because of the massive amount of data (and specifically images) any hiccup in the posting of even one of the over 13,000 images and headers can affect everything that follows (usually pictures out of place). Everything you see is a result of a massive army of coded commands you don’t see. A page layout can occasionally look fine until it is posted, and distorted afterwards. It is usually noticed quickly, but it can take some time to fix, because the actual cause may not be apparent.   And it may involve one or more re-posting efforts before it is apparent if corrective commands such as new line breaks have fixed the problem. Also I have worn out several memory sticks, and the first sign of corrupted data on them is usually corrupted sections on the website. Some difficulties have been encountered due to unexpected things, including the continued use of some legacy software. Websites that imbed a Multi ligual and multi character approach were not common when the website and software that created it were created So this website used mostly Latin1 character encoding (Unicode block Latin-1 Supplement) but also then also used UTF-8 character encoding for Japanese and Russian language sections and perhaps a few other languages, and it created some (now suppressed) issues when hosting expected everything to be UTF-8. Because of the large number of images per page, you may experience a pronounced delay in the images on a page loading, depending on your computer and internet speed, and this is usually experienced as the images popping in place progressively. So please be a little patient: this is the trade off for having so much stuff to look at. Translations are usually done with a couple online translation sites (yes, initially the Israeli one that apparently will try to hijack your search functions if you actually download their toolbar or software rather than just translate stuff) and later after it became available with “Google Translate”, which I like much better. The translations allow me to make efforts in multi-lingual outreach, which was a specific goal. But I do know this can result in awkward, odd, or bizarre language. I am improving the translations as fast as I can get generous native speakers to help me do so, but meanwhile my non-English sections may be crude. While I create all the content, layout, graphics, and most of the photos, my son John (a software engineer) does the navigation linking, and web posting, and writes the custom code such as used with the index linking, page view count, navigation jumps, and country origin analysis program. And it is all done for fun.

OUR VIEW ERS

Viewers sought….

The most accurate answer, if less than satisfying, is they are worth what someone is actually willing to pay you for them at a particular point in time, to use as functional binoculars, or as a novelty or gift, or for an optical collection, or because the brand name appeals, or as part of a camera brand collection (Nikon, Pentax ), or for a sentimental reason. It is not as glib an answer as it may seem: we have paid a relative pittance for some of the rarest binoculars because nobody bid against us and that was therefore the value at that moment, and have paid much more than others were worth for ordinary binoculars of little merit, value or rarity because we were determined to get some variant someone else wanted. On-line auction activity is seasonal: the number of people bidding is quite different in the in seasons when it is nice outside and daylight is long versus when it is dark early and people are shut in and bored. Demand can reflect a small determined pool of people wanting an item, who bid up every example on offer very aggressively, and as soon as they all have an example, the selling price of identical subsequently listed items can drop by half. Not withstanding, the most practical way to determine fair market value is to look on an auction site like Ebay for the same binoculars and then use the “watch” function to see if they eventually sell and at what price.
