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.
These gorgeous green tinted eyeglasses date from between 1835-1880. They have brass frames and octagonal lenses. The glass lenses are tinted green but have no prescription or magnification
+++ Measurements +++
They measure approximately 4.5" wide across the front.
+++ Condition +++
Overall fair to good condition for their age with minor patina and bends to the frames. The lenses are in good shape but there are some imperfections to one of the lenses--a bubble and some wavy lines. This makes them slightly annoying to wear for long periods of time, so they are likely best for photo shoots and display.
These are wearable with care at your own risk (the lenses are 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.
