Best place to find vintage binoculars (brown leather-wrapped)?

(Wasn't sure exactly where this fit (camping? accessories?) so opted for general/accouterments...)

I'm in search of a pair of 1920s-1940s binoculars for an upcoming photo shoot, however, they're to be used purely as a prop so no actual quality is needed :). I have in mind something with which the grips are wrapped in brown leather.

Where would you recommend looking? eBay? Etsy? Amazon for something new and "good enough"? Elsewhere?

Thanks so much all!

Yeah, if you're not looking for specific military issue or anything like that and they don't have to be more than a prop, I'd go with eBay. I have some somewhere that sort of meet that description except mine have black leather; bought for a fiver, used in a shoot, looked great.
