It could do with a bit of a polish but otherwise you could wear them now.The lenses were made by the optician and clockmakers, Rouzier of Tarbes which is the county town of the Haute Pyrenees region of France. The frame was created by a jewelers as it has a maker\'s mark on the bridge which is A.W. and the word \'double\'.
