<p>[QUOTE="The Junk Lady's Son, post: 4530461, member: 77873"]Hello, everyone. I picked up this pair of seemingly very old spectacles for a couple dollars from a garage sale today. I've been trying to identify their approximate age but have not made much progress, so I was hoping to find someone more knowledgeable here. As seen in the photos, they have a metal wire frame and ovoid shaped lens. The only identifying mark is USA, imprinted into the bridge. (It's a bit hard to see, but that is showing in the last photo.) The only other clues I have are that the lens are completely flat rather than rounded, that the temples are not attached with screws but rather some sort of bolt, and that the bridge has very sharp curves.</p><p><br /></p><p>The case came with it, but I don't know if it's the original or if the spectacles were just put in it later.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you in advance for your insights![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
