Spectacles
ca 1790
The Copp family of Stonington, Connecticut used these steel spectacles around 1790. The spectacles are hinged at the temple and halfway down the stem, with round loops for the earpiece that is typical for late 18th-century glasses. The spectacles are missing one lens and one earpiece.
