Of course our interest is what is in her hand. This is an amazingly beautiful photo for many reasons. My best guess, circa 1848 / 1852 give or take a year. Now for a moment let me direct your attention to the photo right. This is just the right length so that our magnifying glass can be tucked into your sash belt just as you so often see done when a lady wears a pocket watch on a chain around her neck. May I mention the chain once more? Yes I did say a 48 inch chain. It's charming, pleasing to the eye, useful and my favoite, it's different.

It comes securely affixed in a gold color bezel with a 48 inch chain to drape around your neck and a small black velvet draw string purse for safe storage. This tasteful little magnifying glass is a very unique accessory. You can always call or just stop by the store and try them on. So hit the Buy Now button and use the comment section of the order form to let us know which strength you need.

If the legs are too short for you they will never be comfortable. Now for the hooked type legs I suggest you try those on next time you are in the store. For the other strengths, I'm a pretty good guesser. I use a 1.5+ so if your the same, easy cheesy. Just tell me the strength you would like and do my best to pick out the proper strength for you. I am happy to sell the straight leg types via the web site. Strength of the lenses start at "almost clear glass" and go to "OMG you must be blind." They are all good solid glasses and if not abused will last you a lifetime. They are the single screw type of frames. They are all "readers." The lenses CAN NOT be changed. Straight legs and the type that hook over the ears. I currently have a large supply of original eyeglasses.
