I have a couple pairs of cheap 10x25s that i leave laying around for a quick look at something. The wife has a 10x50 Oberwerk that she really likes to use.

The aforementioned Mayflower 6x15 monocular was included with a Swift Triton 7x35 I received from an on-line auction site.

As I opened the case, it appeared as though the binocular had a baby!

Like the Yamatar, it is optically and mechanically sound, but has seen better days.

Obtained during the 90s, when Pentax was still manufacturing optics in Japan, this 7x20 monocular is a keeper.

They even serial numbered them.

With the included attachment (which also fits into the belt-pouch case), it becomes a field microscope.
