[QUOTE="Shangas, post: 88190, member: 360"]My research has led me to believe that these are not especially rare, but MY GOD THEY'RE CUTE!! Gilt brass and clad in leather, these Liliputian opera glasses were made by Colmont of Paris. They are marked with: "COLMONT Ft PARIS" "C" (inside a six-point Jewish star), presumably the company logo (like the Le Maire bumblebee). "Parisette" "-x-" [IMG]https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xfa1/v/t1.0-9/1509180_1659210291004117_5112761253907410783_n.jpg?oh=7009bf29e7d40080c7f00ecc64bcccc9&oe=568768FD&__gda__=1451562699_aa47bb78c74e502d405c583e337f0bfa[/IMG] Compared with my other glasses, and it looks like Russian Nesting Binoculars!
