Antique Folding Pince-Nez Reading Glasses in Personalized Leather Case, Probably 1917-1930 🔮 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For auction is a pair of antique folding pince-nez reading glasses 🔮 . The magnification power is very slight. According to the personalized case , they belonged to Mrs Edwin Gilbert , a great-grandmother on my in-laws' side . They were bought at a store in Rochester, NY . Research indicates fairly well that the store at the location given on the case opened in 1917. Family lore says it was bought by 1930 at the latest. I tested the chain for silver content. I’m not 100% confident with the results but I believe the chain is nickel-silver, not silver. These reading glasses are in very good condition. The lenses have some light scratches and need to be cleaned. The metal seems to be in perfect condition. If you have any questions, please ask before bidding. I’ll do my best to answer.
