As a child, I remember being intrigued by old items that I discovered on my grandfather's farm. I liked to imagine the story of how the object worked, who used it, and what function and delight it provided over the years. When I found these binoculars at an antique store, I imagined the many hours of study of birds reflected in the well worn patterns of the stained leather case and the chipped paint.
