Eyeglasses

Eyeglasses

The eyeglasses belonged to Susan Eddings, who was Mat and Henrietta’s first daughter. They are in good condition, and both lenses are still in the glasses. The case for the glasses is still in good shape, and there is a card with the glasses that say who they belong to and the optometrist they came from. The certificate states that they are genuine Bausch & Lomb No. 300519 D Orthogon “D” wide vision bifocal lenses. This certificate was also a warranty that if anything happened to the glasses, the company would replace them. Dr. E.H. Murray, an optometrist in Pulaski, Tennessee, has signed the certificate prescribing the glasses to Susan with a prescription number of 43669.
