Description
Very Cool 1950’S Vintage Cat Eye Sunglasses. These are dramatic black plastic frames with brass overlay details. The glass lenses are original and are in that cool green color.
These were sold as fashion sunglasses in the Fifties and are not optical quality frames. They were most likely available in drug stores and the like.
There are no legible makers mark on these frames that I can actually read. There is printing that reads: U.S.A.
These vintage sunglasses are Used and in VERY GOOD VINTAGE CONDITION…the lenses look great without scratches.. The brass details so have some tarnishing and light scratches in the finish. (see images for details)
The hinges are metal & are in good working order, and the frames are not warped, cracked or crooked.
*Keep in mind that vintage frames are SMALLER than frames made today. That was the style and the look from the period.
*For a good fit, compare the measurements below to a pair of your own glasses that fit well..
