For your consideration are two pairs of Civil War era shooting glasses. These glasses feature blue glass and dark tint lenses on a metal wire frame with petite thin temples. The lens colors help shield the sun to lighten when shooting in bright condition. One pair of glasses has bright blue lenses and a curved temple to secure around the ears. This pair is stored in a case marked “Dr. RO Porter Logan, Utah.” The other pair has a dark tinted lens and a straight temple. Each pair measures approximately 5” wide x 4”.
