For your consideration are three pairs of early, marked and unmarked temple and hook style spectacles from the late 1880s to early 1910s. The first pair comes in its original case and was manufactured by H.J. Gingell in Globe, Arizona in the early 1900s. This pair shows a hook style, meaning the arms of the glasses would hook over the wearers ears. They show gold colored rims and arms, possibly gold filled or gold washed but have not been tested. The leather case shows a black color and shows gold gilt lettering reading, "H.J. Gingell / Eye Sight Specialist / Globe, Arizona / Need Glasses, See Gingell And See Better". The second pair has yellow tinted lenses and is marked on the nose bridge reading, "G.F." possibly standing for "gold filled". No other marks are present. The third and final pair appears to be a learning pair or used in the process of making other lenses. It has markings on the lenses marking the center, making sure the prescription will be in the best spot for the wearer. It is marked on the nose bridge with the company logo of A.O. Company. They show good condition overall with wear present from their age and use over the years, but no signs of major damage noted. They measure from 6 1/4" L x 1 1/8" W to 4 1/4" L x 1 3/4" D. They have a collective weight of 75 grams. Provenance: From the Tombstone Western Heritage Museum in Tombstone, Arizona. MS250 MS143
