Great find for the person who wants an old pair of sun glasses the paper work inside last date says 1915 so that’s what I am basing date on in that time 1.25$ was like 40$. The case is metal with cloth covering it. The lens look scratch free but I didn’t clean them same with frames when I find something this old I dust it off and sell it I let person buying do the deep clean that way they know what’s been done and any chemicals used. If you have any questions or want more photos please contact me.
