Many families have treasures that are special to them because they have been passed down from one generation to the next. Antique binoculars make a wonderful keepsake not only to use but to preserve as a family heirloom. A couple of years ago my dad came across a pair of binoculars that had been purchased by my grandpa while he was in Germany during World War II.

They are absolutely the most beautiful binoculars I have ever seen. The frame and the case are made from solid brass which makes them heavier but they have definitely withstood the test of time. I borrowed the binoculars from my dad to take on an upcoming camping trip. Well, I guess I should tell you I borrowed them, but without my dads permission! I was heartbroken because I lost these antique binoculars while on that camping trip. I searched for them but finally gave up assuming they were forever lost.

Fast forward a couple of years and one day I was looking at some online auction sites. One item that caught my eye immediately was a pair of antique binoculars. They looked very similar to those that I had "borrowed" for my camping trip. They werent the same pair I had lost but the same exact model. I made sure I wasnt outbid on the auction and they waited impatiently for them to arrive in the mail.

I was very excited when they were finally delivered. I decided to polish them up and then put them to good use. I was able to see amazingly well through these antique binoculars. There was no sense of distortion with the images at all. I placed them in a safe place at home and eagerly looked forward to the Christmas holiday that was quickly approaching.

Of all the gifts my dad received that Christmas, nothing compared to the antique binoculars I gave him. He quickly took them outside to try them out. He was very impressed by the clarity of the binoculars. We both knew they were quite durable and he would be able to get plenty of use out of them. However, this wasnt to be the case. Upon going back into the house my dad placed the binoculars into the box and gave them to my son with a smile on his face.
