Getting A Handle On Antique Eyeglasses

Getting A Handle On Antique Eyeglasses | Antiques & Vintage Collectibles | Scoop.it
For many of us, our only experience with “flip glasses” was that scene in Pretty Woman in which Julia Roberts (as Vivian the prostitute) goes to the opera, ineffectually swings her limp opera glasses by their long handle, and whines, “Mine are broken.” Or seeing that pair of flip glassed on that episode of Pawn Stars. But there's a lot to know about lorgnettes.

Mod Red Vintage Emson Compact Folding Spy Opera Glasses Made in Japan with Original Box

Mod Red Vintage Emson Compact Folding Spy Opera Glasses Made in Japan with Original Box | Antiques & Vintage Collectibles | Scoop.it

Sexy mod little folding Emson Opera Glasses in silver-tone and rich red or burgundy shade of textured faux leather.

When the latch on the back is pressed, the glasses pop open (about 1 and 1/2 inches) to allow you to view the happenings on stage -- or about town, wherever you wish, really. There's a wheel to adjust focus.

Measures 4 and 1/4 inches by 2 and 1/2 inches when closed. Just 3/4 of an inch thin!

A sleek mid-century mod design in a fabulous, glamorous, color!

Ultra Rare Lemaire Fabt Paris Binoculars And Spyglass Telescope Brass With Leather French antique

Ultra Rare Lemaire Fabt Paris Binoculars And Spyglass Telescope Brass With Leather French antique | Antiques & Vintage Collectibles | Scoop.it
This is my best antique auction so far. An amazing set of antique brass binoculars and spyglass. I was told they were a field set from WWI but I am not positive, that is about the time frame for Lemaire Paris items so it's very possible.
