reading glass in case probably pre-1930
These were with my dad's things, i think they belonged to his father who died in 1929. The details on the front of the thin glasser case seems to read: Alex Hale Ltd Qualified Opticians 263 Pitt Street Sydney I'd kept them to put on dad's old doll but they don't work. they've been kept in a cupboard all these years so the case is still a strong black colour in good condition.
