Vintage Steel Folding Pince Nez Sunglasses Eyeglasses

  These antique steel pince nez (pinch nose) sunglasses are in beautiful condition for their age and ready for prescription or sunglass lenses. These date from the 1880's - 1890's. The dark oval non-prescription sunglass lenses are in great shape with only faint scratches. The screws have been tested and are working great so changing the lenses should be no problem. The lenses can be folded together and latched for storage. The frame is unmarked. Note: there is a small amount of tarnish/rust on the frame. Early, Early sunglasses!

Vintage eyeglasses may have slight wear due to normal use.

                                     About Us

   Vintage and antique eyeglasses are much more than just a business to us. To us they are not only an essential tool for better sight but also a window into history. Each pair has a hidden story behind it and like all lovers of history we find that irresistible. All of our eyeglasses go through a thorough inspection and restoration process to ensure the best possible quality. We spend hours cleaning, polishing, testing and otherwise tuning up each pair of eyeglasses we sell. Of all the eyeglasses we process, only about 40% pass inspection and make it to auction.
