Condition Report
The spectacles are in fair to poor condition, with general scratches and wear from use over time. The right lens has a small chip out of the glass, however the remaining glass is still firmly inside the frame. The hinges are rather loose with some sideways movement to the arms. The extendable pieces on the arms of the glasses slide smoothly and reach the full length. The hallmarks present are quite rubbed but are still visible on close inspection, no date letter visible.
