<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 88255, member: 44&quot;]They are darling! How wide are they actually? Do they adjust much? Along with a Lemaire pair, I have a munchkin size MOP, no doubt imitation MOP, pair by Traviata, made in Japan - vintage 1950s-1970s. They are hardly 3.5&quot; across. For some reason my mother had them. I have no idea why she bought them for you need pliers to turn the adjustment knob/screw and then they hardly adjust for more than a 1/4&quot;. She had a perfectly good Lemaire pair and others. I suspect they fitted nicely into one of her very small evening bags. They are no where near being an antique and very impractical, but they are cute. Just noticed a pair of Traviata opera glasses just like mine on eBay at the moment. Looks like this is at least the 2nd auction for them.</p><p><a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Theatre-Opera-Glasses-Traviata-Mother-of-Pearl-in-Brocade-Case/131617318665?_trksid=p2047675.c100011.m1850&amp;_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D34225%26meid%3Dd2516ec1a8b84e76856ac921316608c8%26pid%3D100011%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D10%26sd%3D141704501116" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Theatre-Opera-Glasses-Traviata-Mother-of-Pearl-in-Brocade-Case/131617318665?_trksid=p2047675.c100011.m1850&amp;_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D34225%26meid%3Dd2516ec1a8b84e76856ac921316608c8%26pid%3D100011%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D10%26sd%3D141704501116" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Theatre-Opera-Glasses-Traviata-Mother-of-Pearl-in-Brocade-Case/131617318665?_trksid=p2047675.c100011.m1850&amp;_trkparms=aid=222007&amp;algo=SIC.MBE&amp;ao=1&amp;asc=34225&amp;meid=d2516ec1a8b84e76856ac921316608c8&amp;pid=100011&amp;rk=1&amp;rkt=10&amp;sd=141704501116</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Shangas, I wonder why you, me, and a couple of others were messaged privately about those supposedly Lemaire opera glasses with the stag mark and no bee mark? I can see why you were because you have posted opera glasses messages, but why me and the others? I suggested the OP post the query on an open forum for more help. Since I replied with my opinion suggesting they may be imitation Lemaire, they haven&#039;t replied - posted again.</p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
