Thanks for the kind words. I'm trying to generate more interest and information on pince-nez. Please stop by the Pince-Nez Renaissance and browse. I'm in the process of getting lenses for my first pince-nez.

Anyone with a story and / or photos is welcome to contribute to the blog. I'll post your material only with your express permission.

Thx again,
Alan

These aren't really that hard to put lenses into. You must be careful to mark a 180 line to keep lenses on axis, this should be done with the frame on the patient.

I did find one at a pawn shop in, I think, Minneapolis a few years ago in very excellent condition for $5.00, may have to try it some day. I may even try making a few just to see if I can.
