    01C1E4FE-8B93-4E21-931F-346C7106CE40.jpeg 46A6C769-E261-4BF2-A53C-480E7C52C043.jpeg I was wondering if there is anyone here that is interested in old eye glasses or could point me to a website to research? I bought a few at an auction and they don’t have marks on them but I would like to have an idea of how old these are. The glass sits in the eye metal instead of hanging from the top on this one. Thanks for any input!

    It isn't a trial frame, those are fixed lenses. Trial frames are removeable lenses, which have their own frame and a tab.

    I think you can find many examples online now that you have the term "trial lens frame" to play with. There was more than one design.
