Description
These are a classic pair of British-made vintage binoculars with 12x magnification and 35mm objective lenses. They come with their neck strap and black carry case, as shown in the photos.
The binoculars are in good used vintage condition overall. The bodywork is intact with no structural damage noticed, apart from general age-related wear to the paintwork. The metal body is covered with a textured hard paint finish, rather than leather covering.
The optics are intact. Some internal lenses have been initially cleaned, but the image still appears slightly white/hazy when looking through them. The view is usable, but optical clarity may improve further with more detailed internal cleaning.
One objective lens retaining ring is missing, as shown in the photos. This does not appear to affect the use or function of the lens.
The central and eye focusing systems work well, and the folding bridge adjusts as it should. The black carry case is included and in good usable condition, with general signs of age and storage.

Note:
Newbold & Bulford Ltd was a historic British manufacturer and importer of optical, scientific, and navigational instruments that traced its roots back to 1796. Operating from Enbeeco House in London, they were well known for their “Enbeeco” branded products. Enbeeco binoculars are generally associated with British binocular production from the 1950s to 1960s.
