Here's looking at you.

Through these old binoculars. They have a 5x magnification and the optics are surprisingly good, even while the field of view is small. They are black-painted brass with leather-wrapped barrels, and came complete with velvet-lined, leather case. The only markings are "5x" and a angle markings on the ocular bridge and "CIMILIA DEPOSE" on the main hinge pin at the objective end. A web search of this name yields no useful information, so if anyone knows anything about this company/manufacturer, please let me know.
