Vintage Eye Glasses, Wire Rim, Early 1900’s, in case – G.F. Unsigned

Vintage Oval Wired Rim Glasses – antiques – early 1900’s.    They are in  good condition – the gold filled finish has some wear which is expected for their age.     They are appx. 4.75″ from the hinge on each side of the lens and lenses are appx. 1.25″ tall and 1.5″ wide.  They curl behind the ear with a little bead at the end of the wire.  Honestly, these are in good condition considering age – lenses are dirty with some wear – I see one scratch.  The are gold filled with a brass base metal – you can see some of the brass on the back of the noise piece and also where there is some finish wear.  I leave old pieces as is unless a repair is need.  They photos will show the lenses as they are – they can be cleaned if desired or if going to be used.   They have a black faux linen wrapped metal case with a black velvet/felt linking – there is wear outside and inside but still work and stay closed.  Great for theatre use too.  These came from a PA estate where I got items from the late 1800s through mid-century 1900’s.  I’ve seen these on website dealing in vintage eyewear for $135.00 and higher.    There is finish wear on the bridge and some on the ear pieces but also some of the area is still bright. See photos. (Lot. Loc. W.8/9.17.1X1 – LD 2/22/18).

We carry mostly vintage jewelry across all themes in my stores and listings. We have our own store and are and have been known as  stampshopgirl in Ebay and have been since I think 2003.  At one point we had a gift shop/rubber stamping store and switched over to vintage jewelry about six years ago on a full time basis, which also including taking and completing gemology classes as well as jewelry appraisal studies. We carry limited other vintage items and am trying to change our presence to marias vintage and estate treasures.  You may see both names until the migration is complete.  You can find us on pinterest where all ebay items and other venues are categorized – mariasvinta0654.
