This is an early tinted pair of sharpshooter's or eye glasses.  As you will note by its design, these are not your avg pair of mid-nineteenth century reading glasses with some tinted glass added.  The sides are adjustable and slide to accommodate different sized people.  At the end of each arm is a ring for attaching a lanyard or necklace to be carried about the neck.  With the extendable arms in the stowed position, they fold up in a nice compact arrangement.  The lenses are a light green tint.  We took a couple extra photos away from our usual blue backdrop in order to give a better idea of the true shade.  Lens have some light scratches.  The furniture is made of iron.  A nice pair of Civil War era shooting glasses.
