I saw a pair of plastic toy binoculars the other day. They were in a plastic toy shoulder case. All made to look like grown up binoculars.
I was overcome with a memory of just such a pair as a kid in the Sixties!
They were a toy but actually worked and slid in and out of that case with ease. They might have even had plastic caps over the front plastic lenses!
I adored those binoculars and wore them with pride on walks.
Probably made by someone like Thomas Salter maybe.
Did you have a pair?
I did - light blue with black eyepieces iirc.
