Description
Spectacle case which comprises of a hard case made of black leather with blue velvet lining. The case is imprinted with: “Mary K. Nee, Optician/ 805 Main St. / Hartfor, [sic] Conn.” Also included are a pair of gold, octagonal turn-pin spectacles with small, open teardrop loops as well as a folding lorgnette with gold or gold-filled frames and clear, quadrangular lenses. A hinged bridge allows half of the frame to rotate 180 degrees, so that one lens folds over the other. A small handle on one side of the frame terminates in a large, open loop, so that a chain or ribbon can be run through for hanging.
