They are bifocals! The bifocal area is tiny (about the size of a dime).

Driving glasses!? Very interesting!

Thanks! My mother guessed early 20th cent too. My Googling skills are really failing me, haha. I am having trouble finding anything!

I found these in an antique shop for $30. I loved them the moment I saw them! I can't seem to pin down how old they are though. Thoughts?

Okay, so far I gather that the practice of painting five-toed dragons ending around 1911 but it might have been allowed before than unofficially. Still can't find what they actually are...

ETA: They are not that big standing at about 2" tall and about 1" wide.

Oh, thanks for the information. Very interesting about the five-toed dragon. I am assuming the other one is a a Chinese phoenix? Lots of research fodder!

Haha, ah yes. But it was fun to decipher, yes? Any information on when it might have been used would be great. I was thinking 1940's too.

Honestly, I don't know what they are. They were my granny's and she gave them to me right before she died. I would like to know what they are, haha. She said they were for salt and pepper...

Hmmm, yes or REFRIGERATOR. Awesome, thank you.  I wonder when it's from.

So, I have a thing for bottles and boxes. I picked up this one the other day at a flea market. Since then I have been trying to figure out what it says on the side. So far I have determined that it says 'Special Serum Vaccine _______________'. Anyone here that can shed any insight into what this is? Thanks so much!
