Writing poetry 6"x6"

While looking for something in the studio I came across a box of items from my Great Aunt and within the box was this pair of unusual eye glasses.    They were two pieces of 1/8" flat glass that were held together with brass fittings and the side pieces hinged in the middle for folding and on the tips were round bakelite or amber discs.   There was also one of those old notebook journals that had some hand written poetry in side.   These glasses are the type that if the light was just right they would look like two white discs in front of the eyes.

Pen and ink 6"x6" oil

This is a pair of tortoise shell glasses from the 1920's.   I have used them a number of years back with an earlier prescription but switched to something else because I was afraid I would wear out the parts and they are probably not replaceable because all the findings are gold.   But they are nice to look at.
