British Binocular Case
From the 1987 Holiday Catalogue: “When scanning horizons for enemy troops during World War II, British soldiers peered through field binoculars they kept in canvas cases. The fittings are pure brass, the thick, reinforced canvas is sturdy but lightweight, and the shoulder strap is widened at the top for comfort. Will hold a camera, eyeglasses, and sunglasses, extra film, even a pair of binoculars.”
From a 1986 Employee Newsletter, some merchandising tips for selling the British Binocular Case….
As always, a super-cool post! Thanks!
It’s A.K.A. a Pattern 1937 binocular case, as used by the British army (and etc./et al) during and after WWII. http://www.karkeeweb.com/patterns/1937/1937_pistol_equipment.html
