36: A 19THC GILDED WOOD OPTOMETRIST SIGN WITH COLORED LENS

The over-sized trade sign eye glasses constructed from wood, gilded in gold and displaying an amazing original untouched crusty surface. The wood frame depicted with tabs each end that represent mounting tabs for ear pieces, a scrolling carved wood nose bridge, and jewel-toned colored glass lenses to create eye-catching appeal.
Measures 10 x 35.25 x 2 inches.
Very good condition, noting minor breaks with the grain and simple old repairs that are very minor in nature, original overall and with great patina.
Provenance: The Jerry and Cathy Mueller Collection, Sioux City, Iowa
$1,000 - $1,500
