Item - Rare Unusual Vintage Folding Steel Spectacles, Circa 1880s; this particular pair of spectacles appear to be rather unique as they having a folding bridge but fixed arms; it appears that they were produced this way so that they could be hung on the shirt/suit pocket when not in use (please note one lens has a chip close to the lens screw).
