New thread to avoid egregious thread highjacking. Thanks, David, that's what I'd hope to find. The one I lost/sold/gave away was of a similar size and had what I think was at one point was a reputable name, Bushnell; tho' these days, with selling brand assets, who the hell knows. But it worked fine and was only a wee bit big to slide easily into a jersey pocket.
To all: Monococular: suggestions? If one wants to put a premium on portability at the expense of visual experience -- tho' one wants the device to be useful for casual bird, person, or object observance. I also, long ago, and a cheap monocular, about the size of a test tube, and it did sort of work. Thanks again.
