19th Century Spectacle Cases

Eyeglass cases made during the 1800's are made from tin, brass, or copper and therefore are much lighter than those of the previous century. Most cases from this period will show more copper than plating. A company named Parker produced many steel cases from the 1850 - 1880. Parker cases that date before the Civil War are very popular with Civil War reenactors.
