Description
Up for auction is a versatile set of two vintage Porro prism binoculars, complete with their protective carrying cases. This dual collection features a larger Bushnell Sportview 7x50 pair alongside a compact North American Super De Luxe 7x35 pair (Model No. 537). Together, they offer a great mix of wide-angle viewing and light-gathering capability, making this set ideal for birdwatching, astronomy, outdoor sports, or vintage optical collecting.
The larger Bushnell Sportview 7x50 unit (1970s–1980s era) features fully coated optics with a wide 7 Degree 10' field of view, ideal for low-light or stargazing applications. It displays classic Bushnell branding with the white "B" crosshair cap logo and comes paired with rubber lens caps and a dark brown hard-shell faux-leather carrying case with a metal flip latch. The smaller North American Super De Luxe 7x35 unit (1960s–1970s Japanese import) offers coated optics in a durable textured black metal body with a central IPD scale (60-70mm), accompanied by its original tan pebbled case with a snap-button closure.
Both optical sets remain in solid condition with smooth center focus mechanisms and intact body textures. They display expected age-appropriate surface wear, minor dust, and faint finish wear around metal edges, but are structurally sound with clear glass and functional diopters/hinges. The cases show light cosmetic exterior scuffing and edge wear consistent with careful handling.
