Pince-nez spectacles. White metal (nickel?) frame. Triple-bar telescopic bridge. Pivoted clear plastic plaquets (slightly distorted). D-shaped yellow-tinted side visors hinged at sides with internally-textured end portions serving as temple grips. Spectacle curl sides with end-stumps, not attached to front joints but rather attached by screws part way along their length to the visor shields. Flat-top D-shaped eye rims, similarly glazed with yellow-tinted lenses. Together with a shallow, rectangular dark brown leather-covered wooden case with hinged lid and friction catch, lined with green velvet and silk
