Automatic Pince-nez eyeglasses with original chain

Automatic Pince-nez eyeglasses with original chain and applicator. Pince-nez were often suspended from a ribbon or chain worn around the neck, tied to the buttonhole of a lapel, or attached to a special ear-mount or to a hair-pin. Women often used a special brooch-like device pinned to the clothing, which would automatically retract the line to which the glasses were attached when they were not in use
