<p>[QUOTE=&quot;David Askett, post: 9438429, member: 4727&quot;]I picked up these great old sunglasses today for the princely sum of $12 Canadian. In the shop I could hardly see through the lenses but, happily, a wash with soap and water revealed them to be in near-perfect condition. I understand that Windsor-style glasses like these&nbsp; were fashionable from the 1880’s through the first quarter of the 20th century, and these “feel” quite old to me, but I’m not sure when they date to. I also can’t decide if the frames are plastic (in which case the glasses can’t be any earlier than the 1930’s) or real tortoiseshell (which could mean they’re older). What do you think?</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/99x24N4.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/kf7rFl8.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/mNXCdpK.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/wnGtnFX.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/2QSj8Az.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/DjEwG8w.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
