My Great-Great-Grandmother's glasses!

I'd seen these before, but it was only today that I figured out what their significance was.  These originally belonged to my Grandfather's Grandmother, Leila Grubbs!  I have a photo of her wearing them!

Am I reading that right? That originally belonged to your great great grandmother?

Yep. She probably got these in the mid to late 40's. The North American Numbering Plan was created in 1947 and fully implemented by 1951, and since the lens cloth has an older 5-digit number, it was probably earlier than that.
