A pair of 1950/60s programme glasses in a faux mother of pearl with carnival diamante. The use of carnival diamante tells us that they are later 1950s - rather than earlier. They would have been folded and kept in handbag until needed to read a programme or a menu - they are not for long distance reading. I have put them on a piece of ribbon. They fold up quite small - 2 1/2 inches approx. from top tip to top tip. Unfolded they are the size of a normal pair of glasses. They are in very good condition. The handle can be placed in several different positions - and does stay there! Very stylish and fun to use! Ref: 3100 B100/12
