JB 1
From there, does any one remember the code which was on the Focal Brand Binoculars which the Kamart chain store sold ? I believe these were labeled Japan, decent binoculars to look thru and inexpensive for the time period. As a very young kid I can remember these being my first viewing binoculars.

Hi Jan,
That still leaves ~35 companies and I think my point was made. Also, are we talking about corporations or products? If the prior, one needs to post the standards by which judgment is made. If the latter, one must remember that the best of companies frequently rebrand lesser-quality products.
Thus, if we're looking for instant answers, we're just barking up a stump. There are too many variables to consider. An elephant can be eaten, but not at one sitting. (I have an especially hard time with the toenails.) :cat:

Until Bill posted that list I didn't know what a JB Code was.
Now that I've seen the list I'm trying to think of anything I care less about.

Hi Kevin,
If you are not a collector, I can imagine you think that.
If you are a collector, you would never think thatB

It’s just one of the many issues on bino forums that I call BB stacking. Although I see SOME validity in the issue, you should keep in mind that if topics were restricted to matters of PRACTICAL importance to the OBSERVER, posts would suddenly drop to about 10% or 15% of their current level. :cat:

I really don’t know. I have only met him through photos. He’s a young fellow who married my daughter’s longtime best friend Rachel Swank who, in those days, lived just north of town. Your handle, rdnzl, seemed to fit. His first name starts with “R” and he is from NZL (New Zealand). Also, he is relatively new to the Lake Stevens area. Thus, I added 2 + 2 and wanted to see if it came up four. :cat:
