HOYA Vintage Binoculars in Leather Carrying Case

This item consists of a pair of vintage binoculars manufactured by Hoya, nested within their original hard-sided carrying case. The binoculars feature black objective lens caps prominently marked with the stylized 'HOYA' logo in a silver or white sans-serif typeface. Based on the visible components, the binoculars appear to be a standard porro-prism design with a textured black finish on the body for grip. The carrying case is constructed from a dark brown, textured synthetic or genuine leather with a structural stiffener. The interior of the case is lined with a vibrant red velvet or felt-like fabric, which shows minor fraying and wear at the hinge area. The case features a leather closure strap with a metal eyelet intended to hook onto a brass or silver-toned stud on the front of the case. The strap shows visible cracking and surface wear consistent with age, suggesting a manufacturing date likely between the late 1960s and the 1980s. Overall, the item shows signs of moderate use and age, including dust on the lens caps and wear to the case's structural edges, but the primary components remain intact. Hoya is a reputable Japanese optics company, suggesting the craftsmanship of the glass elements is of a mid-to-high consumer grade.
