THE LENSES ARE ORIGINAL BIFOCALS. THE SWING OUT BUT DON'T STAY UPRIGHT AT RIGHT ANGLES AS THEY SHOULD. PERHAPS IT CAN BE ADJUSTED BUT WE ARE NOT SURE AND SELLING IT MERELY FOR ITS BEAUTY. DATES TO THE LATE 1800S TO EARLY 1900S. IT IS EMBEDDED WITH REAL SEED PEARLS ON ONE SIDE AND THE MONOGRAM A.C.B. ON THE OPPOSING SIDE.
