PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWINGIMPORTANT INFORMATION
HELLO TO ALL;
I HAVE AN UPDATE AS I WAS ASKED A QUESTION ABOUT THESE ANTIQUE SPECTACLES . THIS IS THE QUESTION I JUST RECEIVED AND I WILL ALSO INCLUDE THE INFO I SENT FOR HER REPLY. I ALSO WILL EMAIL EACH OF THE buyers TO LET THEM KNOW WHAT I SAW . I ALWAYS DO MY BEST AND DIDN\'T EVEN NOTICE THAT SO I THANK THIS KIND ER FOR POINTING THIS OUT FOR ME
QUESTION; The screws that snug the rims to the lenses seem too long and yet their is a noticeable gap in the two parts of the \"nub\" into which the screw fits, as if the lenses are to large for the rim. Might you please take a look and see what sense you can make of that? Thank you.
ANSWER; Thank you for your email. I got out the spectacles and yes, I do see what you are talking about. I looked through both lens and they are the same prescription or magnification so I am also not sure why there is a gap on the frame. Maybe years ago their eyes changed strength and when new lens were put in one wasn\'t ground down far enough to fit perfectly. I thank you so much for pointing this out and will be adding this extra info to my site and also will contact all the previous buyers to let them know. Have a great week and thank you for spotting this for me.
Most Sincerely,Larry
