ORIGINAL GLASSES



  I currently have a large supply of original eyeglasses. Straight legs and the type that hook over the ears. They are all "readers." The lenses CAN NOT be changed. They are the single screw type of frames. Strength of the lenses start at "almost clear glass" and go to "OMG you must be blind." They are all good solid glasses and if not abused will last you a lifetime. I am happy to sell the straight leg types via the web site. Just tell me the strength you would like and do my best to pick out the proper strength for you. I use a 1.5+ so if your the same, easy cheesy. For the other strengths, I'm a pretty good guesser. Now for the hooked type legs I suggest you try those on next time you are in the store. If the legs are too short for you they will never be comfortable. So hit the Buy Now button and use the comment section of the order form to let us know which strength you need. You can always call or just stop by the store and try them on.

MAGNIFYING GLASS


  This tasteful little magnifying glass is a very unique accessory. It comes securely affixed in a gold color bezel with a 48 inch chain to drape around your neck and a small black velvet draw string purse for safe storage. It's charming, pleasing to the eye, useful and my favoite, it's different. Not common or mundane.
  May I mention the chain once more? Yes I did say a 48 inch chain. This is just the right length so that our magnifying glass can be tucked into your sash belt just as you so often see done when a lady wears a pocket watch on a chain around her neck.

  Now for a moment let me direct your attention to the photo right. My best guess, circa 1848 / 1852 give or take a year. This is an amazingly beautiful photo for many reasons. Of course our interest is what is in her hand. You do not have to strain your eyes to see that our beauty is holding small magnifying glass, on a chain, around her neck very similar to ours. So here is our historical presidence.
  I do not feel the need to list the many uses our little spyglass holds. You did that for yourself the moment you saw it. But what about your male counterpart?

  Well in a military camp I would simply remove the glass from the bezel (one tiny screw). Drop the glass into the velvet bag for protection, then that bag into a plain cotton drawstring bag and into the haversack it goes. When needed it is there to start a fire, light a pipe, thread a needle or to help find that pesky splinter. Now that is a multi-purpose tool!
P.S. Should this be the case you get the chain to put on your watch. Just a thought.

CIVIL WAR ERA EYE GLASSES

  It's about time that someone came up with a great looking pair of reproduction eye glasses. They are as tough as nails and comfortable to wear. Wide enough for almost any adult. They come with spring-type ear pieces so that they will not fall off, even when you are at the double quick over rough ground. They come with clear glass for those who just want "the look", but they're ready for your eye doctor to put your prescription in. The frames measure 4 5/8 inches across and the lenses measure 1 1/4 inches high by 1 3/4 wide. Get rid of those old farby looking glasses you've been wearing and get yourself a great pair of these repro's!

POCKET SIZE TELESCOPES

  I have to admit - I do love telescopes and optics in general. So you'll understand that I could not pass these up. These little telescopes measure 6 inches long when closed, 9 inches when fully extended. The fore tube is 3/4 of an inch. I suspect their magnification is about 2X. Both have brass "forward" lens cap covers to help prevent scratching when stowed away. This is one piece of equipment that you will use at every event!
