Mid 20th c.

lens: 37 mm

Monocle. Gold-filled frame with twin swivelling sprung gallery supports. Small round handle. Glazed with a blue tinted lens. Together with a black suspension cord. [Although corded as a monocle for hand use, it would not rest comfortably in the orbit and is really a clip-on auxiliary lens for attachment to round spectacle rim, perhaps as a sun lens].
