These were monoculars; small Galilean telescopes. The body was decorated with gems, enamel, ivory and other decorations. It was not until 1823 in Vienna, that the first binocular opera glasses were invented and put into use. It was built of two cylinders connected with a bridge. Each eye-tube extended independently for focusing. Two years later in Paris, Pierre Lemiere improved on these, and created the center focus wheel, which allowed the focusing of both eyes together. The making of fine opera glasses entailed knowledge not only in optics. Each glass was worked on by painters, goldsmiths and other artists. By the second half of the 19th century they had become essential fashion accessories for theatre- goers. Many opera glasses were given as gifts and tributes, as can be learned from the inscriptions found on many of them.It was not until 1823 in Vienna, that the first binocular opera glasses were invented and put into use.

General Statement:I have been a buyer on eBay for a number of years. Some of the auction items that I purchased over the years, I really needed, and many other winning auction items (like 100 pairs of chopsticks - REALLY) after some embarrassment and family criticism, have made for a good story. It is my sincere goal to never embarrass any buyer, and to attempt to make every buyer who purchases one of my listed auction items more than satisfied. All of the auction items (whether pre-owned or brand new) come from a clean, pet-free, smoke-free, and mold-free home. I will always try and address any criticism or complaint in a prompt and thorough manner. I have procrastinated listing items on eBay long enough and now it is time to say goodbye to some of my family’s belongings.Happy Bidding!!!
