Condition Report
The glasses appear in fairly good overall condition, displaying some general surface wear, marks and scratches. The arms extend with a sliding action and this appears to be working well. Some small areas of damage around hinge pins and hinges but all in working order. One lens with chips to two corner edges and further edge nibbles to other lenses. Hallmarks are mostly legible with some rubbing and distortion. No visible date letter. Further struck with lion passant to rims and arm extensions. With a modern glass case.
