Amazing Cased Original Antique Spectacles, Heavy Glass, Side Panels:
$129.93
These are extraordinary antique glasses, the original \"steampunk\" spectacles, with prescription front lenses for short-sightedness and folding clear side panels, both of which are unusually thick. I have modelled them in use myself and they are slightly stronger than my own prescription for moderate short -sightedness. They are actually not as uncomfortable as you might imagine and they are very well made - around the edges of the lenses you can see the remnants of a gold finish applied to the glass. They are in their original case which is in very good condition and measures 7.75 x 1.75 x 1 inches overall. I have no idea whether these were made with a particular application in mind, perhaps just a fashion statement, and I am guessing that they date back to the 19th century, or maybe even earlier.
