ANTIQUE reading glassescirca 1903
The arms that go around the ears are adjustable, you just pinch them closer in or pull them more out.
There is inscription on the inside of the nose part but all i could make out was 12k. I am assuming it is 12k gold, since on the case it reads "BB. GRAGG Jeweler & Optician Brook - Ind".
The case is made out of tin with a leather covering. the inside is velvet. Of course it is not in 100% percent mint condition, since it is over 100 years old.
i tried doing some research but i only came across an add from a january 30 1903 newspaper called "The Brook reporter" stating "The SURE-ON eyes glass is meritous enough to do all of the above. It is neat, hold the glasses in place, and is up-to-date in every way B.B. GRAGG"
I am posting a partial picture, but unfortunatelly i would have to subscribe to get access to the full page and i really don't want to. So i will leave that to the new owner.
