I have a pair of tiny glasses with silver holders. The glasses measure just under 2". The Minerve 1 is easy to understand, but I cannot find any information on E Sanner Sr 3 rue du Quatre Septembre Paris. With all that info, you'd think it would be easy to pinpoint date, but I cannot find anything relating to E Sanner Sr. I would appreciate any help in dating these and would love suggestions for reference resources as related to French makers and marks.
