Anyone know which Minolta this was for?
It bayonet mounts on to the host viewfinder.
Very well made with a spring loaded bayonet latch.
Country of origin mark.
I seem to remember the viewfinder eyepiece inlet frame was square on the old SRT series(?)
Glass seems clear, but a little bit dusty.
There are no other markings on it at all...
Thanks in advance for any information.

Minolta's first SLR was the SR-2 (curiously, the SR-1 was a slightly later model).
These models have the early twist-in bayonet connection for the viewfinder accessories. The later SR-1 models and onwards adopted the square slide-in connection for viewfinder accessories.
The SR-2 and early SR-1's were aesthetically beautiful cameras with a distinct mid-century modern styling. They also have a longer aperture lever throw, which means only the very earliest AUTO ROKKOR lenses with similar long aperture pin throw will allow for correct operation on these oldies.

Not entirely true. The SR-3 has a round connection as well - although I'm not sure whether it is identical to the (round) bayonet connection of the SR-2/early SR-1 models.

Same goes for the SR-3! There are some images of the SR-1, SR-2, SR-3, SR-7 "classic" and SR-7 "new" here on my webpage:

BTW A few days ago I just bought an early Minolta Eyepiece with the round connection. Not arrived yet, though ...

I forgot to add photo's of the leather case.
Front of separating leather case showing manufacurer's marking.
Side of case showing stitching details and riveted strap for neck strap mounting.
One final view of the eye-piece showing a slightly better view of the single cap that came with it, and the screw for dioptric setting lock.
