Antique Pince-Nez Spectacles in Leather Case, Steampunk Prop Glasses, Restoration or Display

An original pair of late 19th or early 20th-century C-bridge pince-nez spectacles, complete with their original leather-bound metal optician's case. The case lid still bears the very faint remnants of the original optician's gilt lettering.

Please note this set is being sold strictly in heavily worn, "as-found" condition for theatrical props, steampunk costuming, or spares. The base metal frames are tarnished, and one of the glass lenses is completely shattered. The accompanying spring-loaded case has significant loss to its thin leather covering, exposing rusted metal beneath, and the interior blue velvet lining is heavily worn and stained.
