    Tonight, I listed another frame from my private collection. A 14k gold Oxford, this is one of the finest I have ever seen, and I have been hanging on to it for many years.

    Crafted from solid 14K gold, this frame sports a tremendous amount of filigree and design detail. It is also in excellent condition.

    Made in a standard 40mm lens diameter, the condition of this fine gold spectacle is beyond reproach. For anyone seeking the finest 19th century eyewear, this piece is certainly a must have.

    I know this frame will sell for thousands in the fine vintage and antique eyewear markets of New York, Paris, or L.A..

    Because I am up against a hard financial deadline and the Feds haven't offered to bail me out yet, I listed this at a 30% discount. Someone is going to be a very lucky Oxford owner.
