Very Rare c. 1910s Carl Schütz Kratolith 8x Binoculars w/ Original Leather Case
This is a pair of vintage Carl Schütz & Co “Kratolith” 8x binoculars, manufactured by Optische Werke A-G, Cassel. These binoculars, marked with serial number 3045, showcase fine German optical craftsmanship and are estimated to date from the 1910s. The binoculars bear the marking DRP (Deutsches Reichspatent), indicating that they were patented during the time of the German Empire, which used this patent system between 1877 and 1945. Founded around 1900, the Schütz company specialized in binoculars, microscopes, and telescopes. In 1912, the company changed its name to Carl Schütz Optische Werke AG, which suggests these binoculars were manufactured post-1912 and likely during the WW1 era. One barrel of the binoculars is marked “Carl Schütz & Co Optische Werke A-G Cassel, DRP”, and the other barrel features the marking “Niederlage W. Campbell & Co Nachf., Hamburg”, suggesting the binoculars were distributed by this German company. These markings, along with the serial number, make this pair a unique and identifiable piece. The binoculars come with their original black leather case, which shows signs of wear but remains functional, with an intact strap and a working latch.
