Description
Frederick W. King of Cleveland, Ohio received a patent for “Improvement in Spectacles” on February 20, 1912. If you enter the number (1017766) at the USPO site you will find his patent description emphasizing their value in shooting and other outdoor activity because they fit firmly on the nose and allow for adjustment. The bridge and nose rest are the heart of this patent. They were originally held on the head by an elastic band that has perished. Very good condition.
