Could the handle be made of wood?

Sep 10th, 2012 at 10:49:02 AM PDT by

No. It's something like plastic, but I don't think it's plastic. Not sure!

Fanned and waiting.. What is the piece that slightly sticks out on the right eye piece ( not the handle side) ? Thank you... very lovely opera glasses :)

It's where you put your finger to open the glasses from the holder. Thanks.

That's the word I was looking for, Bakelite, not sure but it sure would fit the era. Thank you!!

Did I ask a question that you missed , could you please tell me what the part that sticks out is ? It looks like a piece to keep the glasses in holder, like a small latch?? PLEASE answer..waiting to bid..Thank you :)

I thought I answered once. Anywho, It is the place where you put your finger to open the glasses from the holder. Thanks. Hope that answers your question?

love it! F & W :)

I'm so grateful you answered..Thanks..that makes perfect sence..YOUR GLASSES ARE BEAUTIFUL!! My personal opinion is these are more valuable than you think..They look like they are made of Tortoise Shell which is harder to find than bakalite. check the net for tortoise shell jewelry..Good Luck.. :)

Is the handle discolored or is it suppose to be that color... Its lighter colored on the one area.

Sep 15th, 2012 at 5:18:06 PM PDT by

Yes it has a place in it where it is almost white. That is in the material. Thanks.

Sep 16th, 2012 at 7:44:37 AM PDT by

This is awesome. I so wish i could bid an just hang these in my home. Its such a piece of history and the part of art that most dont pay attention to. Nice listing

Sep 15th, 2012 at 8:40:09 PM PDT by

Yes. It's not discolored, it is in the material. Thanks.
