This folding design isknown as the Frodsham Patent. The glasses have no manufacturers identificationalthough the end of the focus wheel is marked with the French mark Bte SGDG roughly translating toPatented without government guarantee. Considering their age, the glasses are in fair original condition. The tubes carry the original leathercovering. The internal chrome parts are unmarked and untarnished.

Although theocular lenses are clean and clear and the focusing is smooth, the objectivelenses have early signs of delamination.
