*Condition*
Antique used condition with age-related wear throughout. Frame shows surface wear, tarnish, and oxidation/verdigris around some screws and nose pad hardware. Nose pads show darkening, cracking, and age wear. Cable temple coverings have wear, splitting, and discoloration, especially near the ends. Lenses have scratches/scuffs and appear to be prescription lenses, so they will likely need replacement for actual wear. Case has heavy wear, scuffs, staining, edge wear, and interior wear from age. Please review photos closely.
