All original and in fine condition in their original case, this pair of steel framed non-prescription spectacles are an especially nice find. Though originals examples are rarely found today, non-prescription tinted spectacles were indeed in use during the Civil War era though they were not referred to as sun glasses. Folks with a particular sensitivity to sunlight were considered to have a malady (week eyes) usually blamed on a childhood disease such as scarlet fever for which they wore tinted lenses. Use of colored spectacles, even non prescription, indicated that the wearer suffered from weak eyes thus the lack of common popularity as we see today. Buy with confidence! We are pleased to offer a no questions asked three day inspection with return as purchased on direct sales! Just send us a courtesy e-mail to let us know your item will be returned per these provisions and your purchase price will be refunded accordingly.
