Vintage Vixen Binoculars

These Vixen 7x21 binoculars look to be from the 60's or possibly 70's, made in Japan. They are "Wide Angle" 10 degrees. They are not in mint condition, but are a cute little pair for the collector or enthusiast.

Asking $50 plus postage.

Cheers,
Jason.

Any coatings visible on the objective lenses, Jason? And do they seem to be collimated? Some of these older ones don't seem to have accessible tilt screws.

They are labelled as "Coated Lens". Not sure about collimation, I haven't looked through them. I'll have a look through them tonight and let you know!
