    Was wondering what the age of this glass case would be also the finish you can see what it looked like before and after nice pattern in the front and old lining inside thanks chris 15049464203639.jpg 15049463463942.jpg 15049463695764.jpg 15049463693553.jpg

    WAG about the age, but I would say 1920's -'30's. It looks like maybe nickel and that you used a buffing wheel. 100% improvement imo, well done!

    Looks like it had a "satin" finish to start with and whoever owned it had a compulsive habit of rubbing it in one location with their thumb for years.

    Very nice. In my experience, 1800s-1920s spectacle cases..and I've seen LOADS...are really flat and thin. I'd say this was later. 30s or 40s or later.
