Topic: Leonardo opera glasses!?

[keith]

Found these today,I'm aware of their 'tacky' (no offense meant) usual stuff but never anything like this,can only just read 'Leonardo' on the label,are these common or what?

Keith, just to confirm, this is a ceramic model not real field glasses?

I think field rather than opera as my son has a genuine original set of these which look like this and which came from someone who carried them in the trenches during WW1. Opera ones were normally more fancy - in white or cream or gilded.

I've never seen a ceramic model of them before though... not much help am I?

Yes they are ceramic,I've just worked out what is says on the label,'The Vintage Collection by Leonardo' have googled to no avail,

Ahhh right, now that helped a little as I found a camera on eBay in the same collection: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230428608394 - I wonder how many pieces in that collection?

Here is another on FleaBay...

Wonder if you could e-mail that seller, and ask IF there is a Label on that item -- just we can see IF the two labels are the same.....(just a thought...)
