Beautiful blue tinted glasses circa turn of the century, 1890s to 1900s, with flexible frames. Lenses are not prescription or magnifying, just tinted.
Before the days of sunglasses, there were tinted glasses, believed by some to improve vision, but also worn for the sake of fashion by others. Some were worn as eye protection from the elements.
+++ Measurements +++
Approximately 4.75" across the front. They are pretty flexible to fit a range of sizes.
+++ Condition +++
Good condition with some patina to the frames and some scratches and imperfections in the lenses. However, this did not seem to appear in my vision when wearing the glasses.
These are wearable with care at your own risk (the lenses are antique and made of glass, and therefore do not meet modern safety regulations).
+++ Please read +++
This item is not new, and as such, it has wear commensurate with age. As with all older vintage and antique items, please handle with care.
All items are sold as-is, and I do my best to point out all condition issues and provide a detailed description and photographs.
Unless specified, items have not been cleaned.
I do not accept returns or offer refunds. Please see all photos, read the entire description, and ask any questions before purchasing.
