Two pairs of antique pince-nez spectacles constructed from gold-filled white metal and yellow metal. The first pair features circular lenses set within thin yellow metal rims, joined by a rigid C-bridge. It is fitted with black composition nose pads and a small suspension ring to the outer edge of one lens. The bridge of this pair is incised with the characters SHURON and 1/10 12K G.F. below. The second pair comprises oval lenses with a spring-bridge mechanism, featuring a long coiled tension spring and rectangular cork-lined nose pads. Both pairs are housed within a fitted presentation case of rounded rectangular form, featuring a blue velvet-effect lining and a metal exterior with a hinged lid. A faded paper label is adhered to the interior lining with illegible handwritten script.
