Marcellus Pointer's binoculars

Alan Thompson Photography

Col. Pointer of the 12th Alabama Cavalry used these binoculars, also known as field glasses. They are made of enameled black brass with red rubber rings around each of the lenses.  The manufacturer's name is visible around the eyepieces: "Lerebours & Secretan / Paris". They were donated by his granddaughter in 1941.
