I was given a set of old B&L Zephyr 7x35 binoculars. Made in Rochester, NY. They are in the original box and look new (even the box looks new). The person that gave them to me said they were a wedding present years ago - probably 1950s/1960s. Looks like they were never used.
They have a nice looking viewing image but I cant honestly say they are any better than the other binoculars I have.
I am not sure about keeping them because I would hate to damage them, they are that pristine. They really belong in a museum or in a collectors collection. I am not a collector, I use my binos. So what are the value of these things. It appears on prices are all over the place.
