Jason
Clipper Binoculars — Model 188
7x35 Extra Wide Angle, Fully Coated Optics

These vintage Jason Clipper binoculars offer an exceptionally wide field of view of 578 feet at 1000 yards, making them well-suited for bird watching, panoramic viewing, or sporting events. Jason Empire Inc. was a significant distributor of optical instruments throughout the mid-to-late 20th century, known for providing reliable consumer-grade optics. The "Jason Clipper" branding, complete with its characteristic red, white, and blue stripe logo, is clearly readable on the shoulder plates.

• 7x magnification with 35mm objective lenses for bright, wide-field viewing
• Extra wide angle design providing a 578ft field of view at 1000 yards
• Fully coated optics to enhance light transmission and reduce glare
• Classic black textured body with sturdy metal construction and neck strap
• Includes black hard shell carrying case with vibrant red interior lining

Condition: Fair to good vintage condition. The metal housing exhibits visible paint loss, chipping, and edge wear consistent with regular use and age. The optical glass appears intact without major cracks, though internal dust or haze may be present due to age. The mechanical focus wheel and diopter adjustment are movable; however, the unit has not been tested for optical alignment or clarity and is sold as is. The carrying case shows external scuffing but remains structurally sound.
