I was hoping someone here might be able to help me identify a pair of binoculars my father handed down to me. I have searched the web but haven't come across anything useful thus far.

The only visible marking is stamped around the eye pieces "MERRILL NEW YORK". I found a Robert Merrill who made boat compasses and the like but couldn't find anything in regards to binoculars. Also if anyone knows of any other binocular related forums I could check out in my search that would be appreciated.

Thanks

You can sign up at this website & ask for assistance. You will more than likely need photos.

I prefer Porro prism binoculars especially those made in Japan. (i.e. Minox BD 10x44 BP) 8>)
