Quality antique eyeglass frames marked ALGHA

I assume these are early 1900's eyeglass frames. Please check pictures for marks and condition.

Quite small. Approx. measurements:

4 1/4" (108 mm) total width,

4" (100 mm) temple,

3/4" (22 mm) bridge distance,

1 3/8" (36 mm) lens width

Cable temple glasses remained in constant use from 1880 until 1960 in various countries around the world.

Windsor eyeglasses were introduced in 1840's and remained in production thru the early 1900's. Windsor glasses have round lenses and temples that wrap around the ears. The nose pads hadn't yet been invented so they have what's called a saddle bridge. Windsor glasses were generally gold and silver coloured, often covered with black or tortoise celluloid on the bridge, eye wires, or temples. These round vintage glasses are historically associated with John Lennon as well as Mahatma Gandhi. Like many types of vintage eyeglasses, windsor glasses fell out of favour with the advent of the nose pads. In modern times windsor eyeglasses are highly sought after and very desirable, will make a great addition to your collection.

I can send more detailed pictures.
