    There a light gold or platinum color of solid metal aviators with a silver bridge from the 1950’s.What makes these unique is there designer safety glasses with lenses made from real thick glass that are sealed by the frames so they won’t easily chip or crack and there sure not falling out.The nose piece is solid plastic that goes the length is of the bridge so there not going to slip off either.These are another candidate for turning in to sunglasses that would be great for riding a motorcycle.These came from my old neighbor in Toledo Ohio who retired from making eyeglasses that I got the other 2 pairs from in the 1970’s that I’ve also posted.

      Very cool frames that will make great sunglasses - and Ruffles looks quite sharp in his pair :)

      Glasses can be gems also.

      Your right Phil.I never thought of glasses as collectible until I seen these that someone put a lot of time in to.
