As summer approaches, everyone starts looking for these and they become highly sought after, so if you want to get a good item at a lower price than the market value, now, during the off-season, is your chance! I'm currently looking for a T-shirt. Haha. This is a vintage pair of American Optical sunglasses. I believe they are from the early 1950s. I think it's a pretty clean piece considering its age. The valuable AO hinges & butter knife temples are instantly recognizable! This is a black frame, which is in a league of its own compared to other colors, and is a golden size 48. Good condition ones, and even damaged ones, are becoming increasingly scarce year after year, and prices continue to rise. The lenses are non-prescription and are a gray color that suits current fashion. You can find frames only or ones with existing lenses, but if you want to replace the lenses later, many opticians won't accept lens replacement for vintage frames due to concerns about damage. Even if it's possible, additional costs such as technical fees and lens costs will be incurred, making it more expensive. These sunglasses are non-prescription, so you can use them right away. The previous owner acquired them from the vintage shop "the jda store," so you can rest assured that the acquisition route is clear. Please understand that this is a casual inspection, and please forgive any oversights. Due to the characteristics of vintage items and to prevent swapping, please understand that returns are not accepted. They are also listed elsewhere, so they may sell out depending on the timing. Please understand the above before purchasing.
