    Picked these up at a thrift store. Been digging around for age and possible value. I believe they are pre 1850 and possibly 1826 ish.

      The "C" shaped bridge was used apx. 1740 (the earliest "modern" eyeglasses) thru 1840. The "turn-pin" temples were used all during the 19th century. Round lenses fell out of favor around 1820 (until they were revived late in the century). So "first quarter of the 19th century" would be a good lable.
