Kelley Redlands, Calif.'', glasses are marked on the inside of the saddle bridge, FYI: ''Oval cable temple eyeglasses were common from the late 18th century until after the first world war. Nose pads hadn't yet been invented so the nose bridge was what's called a saddle bridge, sitting directly on the nose. That caused cable temple eyeglasses to sit very close to the face, limiting the size of the lenses and the frame width. This is why antique eyeglass run small. The temples were made to curve around the ear so that they wouldn't fall off when riding a horse. Cable temple eyeglasses were usually gold or silver colored, Sometimes made of solid gold or gold Plate such as these.''
