Opera glasses, stem is about 5 inches and the glasses are about 4 inches in length. Glasses are about 1.5 inches in width. Missing a guard on the left lense. Made in France, they were ingraved for Mrs. J.T. Williams in 1904. That is about all the info I have on them. I would love more if anyone knows anything about these Glasses.
Welcome to CW!! Should get some answers here.
Love Opera and your glasses sing to me!!
Stuff
You gotta have stuff
you tickled my funny bone
with your baritone
But I think the Sopranos
Have takin my last notes
Corralled by , a flat-Major
Just before his last movement
They look like Mother of Pearl. Very, very pretty!
In the 3rd photo, where the handle connects to the glasses, is that words or numbers. at the eyepiece, if You extended it out, can You see anything there? Thanks for showing these Opera Glasses, very nice! Bill :^)
