Capella 2X and Spica 3.5X Galilean binoculars

	These were made in the very early post war period(1946-47) before there were MIOJ markings on them. The rather cheap binocular market was soon flooded by even cheaper pairs from inferior makers and Nippon Kogaku shifted to the high end binocular market. Thus making these rare and collectible.
	The older NIKKO mark was continued to use in the early postwar period.
	This pair is the smaller Capella model. Nippon Kogaku used stellar names for their binoculars in this period.
	They are very well made in the Nippon Kogaku quality. While most contemporary Galilean binoculars are made with cheap stamped sheet metal.
