    Is the bridge like the one shown in Chris's illustration like the one your customer has? There are other types of pince-nez than the drilled type.

    ECP........there no shape charts for antique glasses, they did not even know the what that would have been. Just make any shape your patient wants in 44mm or 42mm size and you will be OK.
