Help with these old binoculars / field glasses

[pastor.jeffc]

Hello
I came across these old binoculars at a garage sale. I’ve seen similar ones that are french made in the mid 1800’s. I can’t seem to locate these. There are no names or distinguishing marks on them. I was hoping someone had expertise in this area. Thank you for your help! jeff

They look new to me…however, even real antique field glasses from the civil war era sell in the $20-75 dollar range, so even if they are not reproductions they would be probably be valued somewhere in that range:
