Teleater No 1118943 T.Antoniades collection В© picture Thomas Antoniades The binoculars were often covered with black leather with gilt ends or with lizard de luxe leather and with gilt ends and mother of pearl covering. Otherwise the design remained largely unchanged.вЂќ At some point in late 1909 the flat disk was replaced with a traditional disk showing the usual interocular markings (60.70). Thomas Antoniades an English collector and researcher in the binoculars field, says: вЂњThe early Teleater did not have any interocular disk and instead had a simple unmarked flat disk. We have three pairs of this model, manufactured by Carl Zeiss Jena. Some cases were flat for men and for ladies were cases fitted with mirror, handle and card-case. The binoculars were designed in a very elegant style and finished off with an elegant way often covered with fine leather with gilt ends or with lizard de luxe leather and with gilt ends and mother of pearl covering. The theater glasses were produced for a specific customers: for wealthy people coming from a higher social level. Mostly they preserved very well to the present time. This model was well known and produced in a quantity. We are presenting the theater glasses in our collection.
