- (a) A brown pair of women’s reading glasses in the cat-eye style, which would have mainly popular in the 1950s and 1960s. They are thick-rimmed with the arms of the glasses joining the lenses at the very top corners. On the outside of the arms, closest to the joint, there are two metal stars. The name of the manufacturer has been written in script style writing on the inside of both arms “Victory U.S.A. 5 1/2”. The lenses of the glasses have small metal designs on either side of the frames. On each of the lenses there are bifocals present. The glasses are supported by plastic pads that sit on the bridge of the nose. (b) There is also a brown leather case typically used to protect the glasses. There is a clip on one side of the case that allows the owner to store the case on a pocket with greater security. There is no manufacturer or designer name indicated on the case.

- (a) A pair of men’s reading glasses with black case in a gray and clear tone. They are round rimmed lenses with the arms of the glasses joining at the very top corners. The name of the manufacturer has been written on the inside of the viewer right arm and says “NiGuRa Dusseldorf Germany 49 A 140”. The right arm also has a blue ribbon tied around, which can also be seen on the attached to the case. BOth arms are transparent and allow the metal internal support. The glasses are supported by plastic pads that sit on the bridge of the nose. The viewer left pad has “52 20” written and the viewer right pad has “CP 13” written on it.(b) There is also a black leather case typically used to protect the glasses. There is a clip on one side of the case that allows the owner to store the case on a pocket with greater security. A blue ribbon has been tied around the clip of the case, which is consistent with the ribbon around the arm of the glasses. There is no manufacturer or designer name indicated on the case. However, above the clip it does say “MADE IN ITALY”. The inside of the case has a fabric lining that would be appropriate to come into contact with the glasses.
