Antique Nose pince nez Spectacles

Antique 1/10 - 12KGF white gold reading magnifier spring nose (pince nez) spectacles with 18" sterling silver attach chain in very nice antique condition.

The glasses have two sets of nose pads for better grip on the nose.

A pretty design across the top of the adjustable rims can be seen in photo below.

The early 20th Century saw pince nez spectables become extremely popular. They work with a spring mechanism which grips and holds the now.

These spectacles come with an older case marked Earl Pratt, Optometrist, Reno, Nevada. I doubt this case is orignial to the spectacles.

A nice historical piece and a nice item to put with that antique dictionary in your parlour! Or, one could have their own lenses installed.
