This is a pair of brass binoculars with blue leather wraps hanging from a brass chain dangling from a bar pin. If you look through the “stanhope” binoculars you can see 12 french landmarks in the left lens and a picture of the Eiffel Tower with “Paris, La Tour Eiffel” below it. There is a little wear to the blue of the leather and some spots that look like air bubbles in the pictures, however, it looks like it was made that way. The pin has a trombone clasp and is in good working condition. Dangles 2". Bar pin is 1 ˝" across. This is a wonderful example of an old souvenir from the turn of the 19th century. Check out the history of the stanhopes atThe Stanhopes Info website.

This is a very old mesh bracelet that has a tassel at one end attached to a fancy finding. The other end of the bracelet has a large oval with a leaf design and a pearl bevel set in the middle. I am not sure if the pearl is real, because it is so tiny it’s hard to see. I believe the bracelet is gold filled, however, it is unmarked. The bracelet slides nicely and is in good condition. Oval center measures 7/8" long. Nice old bracelet.
