Very Rare, Very Early Antique Eye Glasses, c. 1790 – 1800, With Sliding “Adjustable” Side Bows. Scans show it all….. VERY NICE, VERY early pair of antique eye-glasses. ANTIQUE GLASSES ARE ALWAYS NICE, AND THIS PAIR HAS IT ALL FOR ANY COLLECTION OF EARLY PERIOD PERSONAL ITEMS, OR AN EYEGLASS DISPLAY OR COLLECTION. YOU COULD ALSO REPLACE LENSES WITH YOUR OWN PRESCRIPTION LENSES, If desired, FOR A REALLY GREAT ORIGINAL EARLY 1800 LOOK!! Lenses on these are not oval, but actually have a slightly modified 8-sided octagonal shape, as shown in some of the scans, typical of this period. They also have nice “extending” side bows to help adjustment to different size and shape heads. They also have “holes” on each end of the bows, which would allow for a ribbon or cord to be fed through and tied around the head, to help hold them on if they were not tight enough. Really nice, early style, AND STILL IN EXCELLENT CONDITION!! One of the bow hinges has a very small period repair to the pin where it joins the front, but otherwise the pair is perfect and both bows are original and match. Nice, because often the extending bows/mechanisms and front which are often broken or bent or don’t match. Both lenses are original and match.
