These are the funkiest glasses I have ever run across, and I have seen more than my fair share of antique and vintage eyewear. No makers marks. Bridge style and temples suggest a first half of 1800's age. Temples end in 3/8" round discs. Appear to be made from a nickel or base metal. Definitely rare and collectable.
Glasses Dimensions:
Temple length: 5"
Width: 4-3/8"
Bridge: 0.75” at nose
Lens: 1-5/8" Diameter
Case Dimensions: 5.25" Long x 2.5” Wide x 5/8” Deep
Condition: Good condition considering age. Bends / "pinches" on the temples which narrow the space in the "links" closest to the ear round ends. Left temple has significant bend next to lens join. Right lens is loose in its nose bridge attachment. No chips, flakes, or breaks on lenses. Case is in very rough, poor shape. Case has surface rust and liner fabric deteriorating. Hinge opens / closes as it should
Always happy to pass through discounts on combined shipping. I only charge actual postage, and always use recycled packing materials.
Note some photos appear
redundant because I take photos from all possible angles. On
symmetrical items, these photos may appear redundant when there are no
distinguishing differences or condition issues between side views.
I gladly accept returns,
but please note I do not pay return postage unless there was a significant
error in my description. The item listed
is being sold as is, as pictured and as described to the best of my
knowledge. All dimensions and weights approximate. If you have a question or
an assumption on an item prior to purchase, please ask. I much prefer to
take the time on the front end to make sure you will be satisfied with your
purchase.
Remember, when buying vintage expect imperfections as these items have a history and have been in the possession of others. I try to list EVERY flaw which would be commented on something in an antique or vintage condition – this does not mean all imperfections resulting from normal wear & use require comment. My goal is to have no rude surprises upon receipt.
