<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DLJ, post: 2280130, member: 15382&quot;]I am starting to collect antique spectacles from early 1900&#039;s and would like to know if any expert could tell what the hallmarks on these gold filled spectacles mean. The circle with a cut in the middle that precedes the markings appears in a minority of these gold filled spectacles, sometimes the straight line in the middle of the circle is vertical, sometimes horizontal.</p><p>I read it indicates solid gold but how can that be if it is marked GF gold filled? These are American Optical spectacles from 1930&#039;s as far as I can tell. Thanks for any&nbsp; info or links to understand hallmarks on antique gf spectacles. Here is an image to ilustrate my question.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
