With a (tested) 12KT gold filled frame, bayonet temples, and smoke grey/green lenses, these sunglasses exude the timeless style from the 1960s.

Lenses WILL be left intact to preserve the shape of the vintage frame. Glasses have only had a wipe down to protect patina and aging. Please check pictures as this is a preowned pair of glasses, likely only owned by an Air Force pilot in the 1960’s. These have been WELL taken care of and condition is good. Light surface wear consistent with age. Gold-filled frame shows expected wear in areas, with underlying base metal visible in spots (typical of vintage gold-filled construction).

Glasses will be packaged protectively and shipped out quickly. As always, offers accepted!
