Civil War era amber spectacles attributed to being sharpshooters' glasses. However, there is some question as to whether or not they are actually used for that. These are frosted amber glass with clear centers in a wire frame. They are in good condition however there are some very small chips, and one scratch or crack in one lens. Size: 4"w and each arm is approx. 5" long. These are mounted on a frame that is 8"w x 5.75"h.
