1930s Cycling Sunglasses

Hello...

I recently bought these glasses from a market. they are from Berlin, made in the 1930s. I was told they are cycling sunglasses but was given no more information.

I thought i would post them up here and see if anyone could add any information and tell me if they're worth anything or just old junk! Hope people find these as intriguing as i do..

If you decide they are rubbish i will make you an offer....

They are quite brilliant!

No. They are shite. You'll look a buffoon in them. I'll take them off you as a selfless act of mercy if you like.

These are fantastic.

Are you selling them, or just looking for info?

If they were mine I'd get them, the case and cloth in a deep, wall-mounting display case (like those used for pinned butterflies) and be very proud of them.
