Stamped “DÉPOSÉ”, indicating a registered design in the French system—typical of early 20th-century production (c.1900–1930). Folds flat for the pocket; ideal for reading fine print or as a handsome desk accessory.
Condition: good for age and use with honest wear—plating losses, small spots and scuffs to the frame, light surface marks to the lens, no cracks; hinge firm.
Size: lens Ø approx. 3.8 cm; length open approx. 11.5 cm.
