Here we have a very nice set of U.S. Navy 3 Power Binoculars, as used during World War One. These are much less advanced than the types used during WWII, and are very similar to the types used around the world. They are marked on the eyepiece supports, though unfortunately the markings are miniscule, so they are somewhat hard to read. The top support is marked on the left side with:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ccenter\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNIGHT GLASS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePOWER\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/center\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe second support is marked on the right side with:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ccenter\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBAUSCH \u0026amp; LOMB OPTICAL CO.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eU.S.A.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eROCHESTER, N.Y.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/center\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnder the sun shield they are also marked by hand with serial number \u003cstrong\u003eU.S. NAVY \/ NO. 7,215\u003c\/strong\u003e.
