Description
Three objectives, by J.E. Winspear. The objectives are of different powers, ranging from 1/4", 1" and 2". Each is stored in a can with a push-on lid, engraved with the objective's manufacturer and power.
The objectives strongly resemble German manufacture and may be the work of E.Gundlach, Berlin for whom Winspear was an agent.
