You are looking at a pair of authentic antique American Optical wire-rim eyeglasses sitting in a period-accurate, velvet-lined hard case.

This style features the classic Ful-Vue design, which was pioneered by American Optical in the late 1920s to 1930s. This innovation moved the temple hinges from the middle of the lens rims up to the top corners, clearing peripheral vision for automobile drivers.

Construction: The thin gold-tone frames are typically made of 1/10 12K Gold Filled (GF) metal, a very durable vintage standard that resists corrosion far better than basic plating.

Cable Temples: The flexible, curled "cable" ear hooks wrap completely around the back of the ear, designed to hold the spectacles securely in place.

Please see pictures for overall condition. They appear mostly silver and the plastic on the wire that goes over the ear is cracked
