    Extremely RARE, Extremely Early Antique Colonial Oval Iron Frame TINTED SUN Eye Glasses
    D
    ESCRIPTION:
    Scans show it all.....VERY NICE, VERY RARE pair of antique colonial period oval heavy iron frame eye-glasses.  THESE ARE QUITE RARE, and have all the features of colonial glasses, i.e. very wide nose piece, side head extenders, oval lenses. THESE ARE EVEN RARER AS THEY WERE MADE WiTH TINTED (deep green) LENSES FOR EYE PROTECTION FROM THE SUN. Very rarely seen on such an early pair. Very unusual to find such an early pair in such good, complete condition overall.
    ANTIQUE GLASSES ARE ALWAYS NICE, AND THESE ARE EVEN MORE SPECIAL WITH THE TINTED LENSES. Frames appear to be iron, with original patina, and are especially nice with the extending head bows to help keep them on.
    Complete and usable or a nice item to add to a variety of collections. Also, can be worn with modern lenses to give an old fashioned look, used as props in theatre productions or with Halloween costumes, or just worn as they are to give a very unusual, cool look, etc.
