Remember this style of glasses from the fifties? I wore them myself. They remind me of a librarian in the fifties. This costume jewelry pin is cute on a sweater. It has tiny pearl looking pieces on top. I don't have an idea who made it. It has no markings on it.

That is so cute ! Love it . I recently bought a new pair of sun glasses made in style of these oh so 50's glasses . Do you wear pin ? I would :-)
Thank you. I have worn it a few times. It's cute on my dark red sweater.
Too cute. DD@Phila
These were made to hand your glasses on when not in use.
Thank for the kind comments. I wore that style also as a teenager. I disliked wearing glasses then. I didn't know they were for hanging my glasses. I'll wear them more often now. Thanks Isjewels
I thought I would never see another pin like this! I have a gold one! I wear it, to hold my reading glasses. Have bought some newer type eyeglass holders, maybe one day, they also will be vintage.
I have not wore it for awhile but it is fun. I didn't know it was for hanging my glasses on .
