A very good example of American workmanship.

I still have a pair of them in the drawer of my nightstand. They were great glasses.

I've worn glasses since I was 3 years old. It is a dream that someday I will get to wear a pair of "real" sunglasses........ :?

 

[Jeepnik]

No idea what became of mine. Probably broke and I tossed them. They did look cool though. :mrgreen:

I had a pair when I was a teenager. My Great Uncle, a retired Army Captain bought them for me on a military base. Great glasses.

 

[Wyandot Jim]

Yep the ones I bought in 1960 were 24kt Gold plated. The ones now are not. I also still have mine. Ray Bans are cool but you can not put them on when you already have on a helmet..

According to an inflation calculator that's almost $240 in today's money.
Usually any sunglasses that cost that much get lost for some reason.

That dream came true for me when I had cataract surgery on both eyes. First thing I bought was "real" sunglasses, not clip-on monstrosities. I'll be checking out the sunglasses at yard sales this summer, might find a nice pair of those aviator glasses.

The STAUER Company has sunglasses called EAGLE EYES [ invented by Uncle Sam if I remember right..] that are outstanding. They are of the aviator style.
And so it goes...
