Recently I purchased a pair of binoculars on ebay and the seller claims it comes from a company in San Francisco in the 1800's. Here is an excerpt from the write-up."LAGOMBE FAB PARIS and on the other: HENRY KAHN & Co. SAN FRANCISCO" is what is written on one side of the binocular and the other. Can you provide any more information about this company? Thank you.
