SEEING RED: ARTO'S SECRET SERVICE FIELD GLASSES


I was chuffed to come across this little children's Secret Service Field Glass toy at a local antique shop.


Made in Japan, it even has a small compass helping the user to orientate.


Surprise! It turns out to be a Washington D.C. souvenir! What better disguise for a secret agent than an innocuous tourist eyeing the sights! How clever - How wicked!

PS. I Cannot make the shop name on the price tag. The Union - ?
