Leo Fender, Astronomer

No, not really. But if Leo Fender ever did design a case just for binoculars, it would have looked just like this!

It's actually a case for harmonicas which had been kicking around the store for a while. I asked Joe what the deal was, he told me that it was locked and no key could open it, and that if I could open it I could have it. Five minutes and one bent paper clip later, it was mine. Wasn't sure what to use it for - eyepieces was my first thought, but I already have two cases for those. Then I realized it might be perfect for my Orion 10x50 binocs, and sure enough they fit like a glove. The tray on the right lifts out to give me additional storage for stuff like a red flashlight, pens, etc. The S&T Pocket Sky Atlas fits, too; might stitch a mesh pocket into the top lid to hold it snug.
